Why are image links lost after downloading a Gedcom file?
By default PhpGEDview keeps the images in a folder named “media”. When your GEDCOM is exported, the images still point to the “media” directory of PhpGEDview. When you import your GEDCOM into your genealogy application, the “media” folder will most likely not be on your computer and the link to the images will be lost. Depending on your genealogy application you may be able to import the images by changing your GEDCOM file before importing the GEDCOM. Use a word processor or some other program that allows changing of text documents. Search for the lines that start with “0 @M#@ where # is a number. There should be lines directly below the previous lines that starts with “1 FILE media\” Change the “media” folder name to the folder of your images. The GEDCOM will then have links to your images, and your genealogy application should be able to link the images.
