    FTM2012 - Media Utility

    FTM2012 has two utilities that should be run from time to time. The Tools, Compact file and the Find Media utility.

    The Compact file does two things. 1) Offers the option to Back Up your file, and 2) does some file maintenance. I do this at the End of the Day, followed by the SynNow command to make sure my Ancestry Member Tree (AMT) and FTM2012 files are in sync.

    The Find Media utility will check the Media Workspace for any missing media files that may not be in the location on your computer, where FTM2012 "thinks" the  are located.

    For example: If you use the "linked" option and moved the file or folder where that media file WAS located, it will appear as "missing" in FTM2012.

    I ALWAYS use the Copy command. Reason, mostly to avoid the above, but more important is that FTM2012 will be using a Copy of my original media file (just in case). The other reason is the Back Up command will include the Media Folder what all of the Media files are stored and are in the Media Workspace. So this utility will check for any missing Media.

    In the Media Workspace, click on the Media menu, on the menu bar. The dropdown menu will have Find Missing Media.



    This will bring up a new window. It does a quick search, and you want to find that, so you Select All.


    When you select all, the Search button will become active, along with the OK button.


    There are two options in the Upper Right, Copy and Link. The default is Copy, which is what I use, but you have the option. Clicking OK will cause FTM to search for the missing Media file.

    You will be returned to the Media Workspace. I run it again, just in case, and here is what the screen looks like if there are no Missing Media files.


    It is suggested thae this become part of your normal File Maintenance plan.

    FTM2012 - Media Workspace full of ICONs not images

    OK, so you go to the Media Workspace, after downloading an Ancestry Member Tree (AMT) from Ancstry. That AMT has images in it, but the Media Workspace is full if ICONs and not of the Images that are supposed to be there. What to do?

    At the bottom of the Center Panel of the Media Workspace is the number of Media files that should be there. Clicking on that ICON will bring up a Helpful screen that will explain some of the reasons why the images are not there.

     




















    The above image, shows that when you select one of those ICONs, you will see that the "File Not Found" message in the right hand panel.

    Close that window, if you looked at it. In this workspace, with the ICONs showing, use the CTRL key plus the F5 key (CTRL+F5) and a new window will appear.

    The command will then go to your AMT and download All Media files or the Missing Media files.























    The downloading window will then appear, as the Missing Media files are being downloaded. Please remember that the download of Media files may take some time, depending on the number of files and the size of the files.



















    As with other download of Media, a Media Download complete will appear in the Plan Workspace.
