  • FTM 2009 - moving bulk media

    Hi
    I have 80 birth certificates which I have just moved into FTM 09.

    They are now all sat uncategorised in the Media bit.

    In order to organise into groups I've set up the category birth certtificates. I wanted to drop them into that group. But after some headscratching transpires I have to :
    - click on uncategorized certificate
    - click on edit
    - tick birth certificate
    - click ok
    - click 'uncategorized'
    - repeat above x80 for birth, x95 for marriage, x30 for death...and then there's photos, news clippings etc....someone will be adding my death certificate by time thats done.

    Anyway to bulk categorise? Should be simple function for a database

    Cheers

    What file format did you use when you imported your database into 2009

      Just an Ancestry.co.uk GED.

      Never had a media/ged system before. Hoping FTM 09 would do trick.

      All the certs are variety of tif/jpeg etc held in folders.

        That explains why the photos did not transfer then, there's no quick way that I know of to transfer them all "en block" to match up with each individual but that does not mean it cannot be done, try asking on the FTM forum, it's monitored by a resident expert as well as other users.
