Re: Plugin - Files in media folder and not linked to project
|
James, The Plugin is unlikely to be mistaken. The Plugin says C:\Users\james\Documents\Family Historian Projects\Pam family\Pam family.fh_data\Media\xxx.jpg is not linked to a Media record. You say it is, but does the Media record File Link: Media\xxx.jpg exactly match the file name in the Plugin report? Please double-check. The filenames or folders may be similar but there must be something different.
FYI: C:\Users\james\Documents\Family Historian Projects\ is the Location where you Projects are saved by FH. \Pam family\Pam family.fh_data\Media is your Pam family project folder and data subfolder where Media files are saved. They are all just standard Windows folders and files.

Thank you Adrian that helps me improve my understanding. but I still don’t understand why, when I check in a person’s property box/media I find the image that the plugin tells me is not linked to the project! As you say the plugin: ‘ looks in the Project's media folder and checks whether the file (file in the Windows sense) has been linked to a Media Record in FH or not.’ When I save images I follow the default route and save in the project not on my hard drive. In the plugin report, the file structure is: C:\Users\james\Documents\Family Historian Projects\Pam family\Pam family.fh_data\media\xxxjpg I have a feeling that what I am exposing is a basic ignorance about file structures!
