  • FTM 2006 and photos query

    Hi - I'm starting to think about whether or not to use the photo's section of FTM. I do not want to link in all my photo's as they're neatly filed on my PC anyway. But I am thinking that relevant maps might be a useful thing to have attached to each individual - particularly pre1837 when parishes are so vital.

    Can anyone tell me whether the images are merely linked from their source file - or whether they're actually saved as part of the FTM file? That is, will they be backed up on the internet storage I've got...and if I send the file to someone else will they also be able to access the images?

    Thanks!
    Kind regards,
    William

    The photos are stored in the Scrapbook facility for each person in your tree and saved as part of the FTW file, and as such will be backed up`on the internet storage facility.

    If you send someone a FTW file then the photos/images will remain with the file.
    If you send a gedcom then the photos/images will not remain with the file.
