In the area Main Directory for Image Files the directory has to be selected, in which (directly or in subdirectories) the image files for person photos, graphic background images, graphic frame images, coat of arms images for graphic titles created automatically, box background images, box frame images, Free Image Objects and card index cover sheet images are saved. The directory is selected from the existing directories with the button Browse.... We recommend the directory My Documents\FamilyTreeFactory\Image files (under Windows Vista and Windows 7 Documents\FamilyTreeFactory\Image files). Be sure not to use a root directory such as C:\, as this will cause FamilyTreeFactory to search all directories and subdirectories of the entire C: drive for image files.
In the area Main Directory for Document Files the directory has to be selected, in which (directly or in subdirectories) the document files are saved. The directory is selected from the existing directories with the button Browse.... We recommend the directory My Documents\FamilyTreeFactory\Document files (under Windows Vista and Windows 7 Documents\FamilyTreeFactory\Document files).
Note: The names of image files and document files may respectively be used only once even if the files lie in different subdirectories. The FamilyTreeFactory is looking for the image files in the main directory for image files and its subdirectories. Document files analogously are looked for in the main directory for document files and its subdirectories. If files with the same names lie in different subdirectories, there will be wrong search results because it is looked for only up to the first location.
Recommendation: Use a certain scheme for the names for person related files like [Surname] [Given name] [Year of Birth] [File content]. For example Samplefam John 1905 Birth certificate.pdf or Samplefam John 1905 Photo Enrollment 1911.jpg. The files of a person then are clearly directly behind each other in the Windows Explorer. |
Warning: For the names of document files to be attached to archive PDF files automatically, only characters of the ASCII character set should be used. Details can be found in the section Creating Archive PDF Files. |
