iamken 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Is there a way one can instruct TMG7 to place the exhibits is respective sub folders that exist in my TMG6? I have separate folders for each type of document such as d:\Genealogy\Exhibits\Wills and d:\Genealogy\Exhibits\Census etc I thought I had it organized so I can find any document easily if needed but Ver 7 took that all went away and put them all in one directory, what a mess. I reverted back to Ver 6 for the time being. Sure wold like this to be addressed for the next update Thanks Kenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmut Leininger 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Kenny, I had the same problem. In my case it resulted from not reading the migration instructions well enough and I did a restore including the exhibits. If you do not include the exhibits in your save/restore, they remain where they are and are perfectly useable. After that, you may set the default folders in the project properties as you like.

elevator 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 I also use subfolders for storing exhibits, and I can confirm that Helmut's method works. As long as you do not restore the exhibits, the paths are left intact and will be accessible the same way from TMG7 that they were in TMG6. I am still waiting, though, for the day when exhibits will be stored in the database using relative paths rather than absolute paths. It will make migrating a project to a different computer or harddrive vastly more easier for those of us who find it necessary to split exhibits into multiple folders. But for now we need to make the best out of it and for that Helmut's way certainly works. Ken.
