Error Code File Nr.1 " could not be found.

Beitrag von JayhawkRaven »

I am trying out the software. I imported a .ged file. When I used the integrity check feature it found this error code, three times:

File Nr.1 " could not be found.

What does this mean? How do I fix it?

Thanks,

Hello JayhawkRaven,

very welcome to the Forum! :welcome:

If it's only that, you're quite good with your file! I've got more than 500 'error' notes. In my case, the ones saying 'file not found' are all in the way

Code: Alles auswählen

File Nr.X 'FileName.jpg' could not be found
which refers to the file(s) linked to a person that is/are not accessible.

You may know that neither GED nor AHN files include the photos and similar files linked to a person but only a path showing to the image file. If you just tried out the software with a GED file, you may have forgot to put the image file(s) to the right path. I just wonder why there is no file name in your error hints - they should be. Normally, it's the file name linked to a person (see edit window: Person > Pictures/Files) which is referred to. So, do you really have image/file references existant with no real file name? How could this be?

Hope, you understand what I mean.

That explanation helps. I just exported a small part of my gedcom file, and I did not include any of the photos or thumbnails with it. That was probably the reason for it. Thanks again.

Hello JayhawkRaven,

another thing: If you use "Save as" to save a copy of your AHN file on a USB stick, the software will ask if you want to have a copy of all image files concerned on the stick, too. Is reported to work - I haven't tried yet. I just wonder if it works with a GED file as well.

And a second other thing: To get your file links updated to a new storage place, you can use the function "Tools > Remap images/files...". Demands a single folder for all images to work.

That's the sort of small smart functionality which is implemented into Ahnenblatt while the software was growing step by step.
