Importing all pictures from PAF.5

[sander]

Hi Everybody,
Just imported a Gedcom files from my Windows PAF5 to PAW and everything looks OK except for the linked pictures. I had all my pictures in a file called (very creatively) PAF Pictures which I had located in the Family Search Folder, itself located in Program files.
Of course, the pictures did not follow the Gedcom file when I imported it in PAW.
Is there a way to establish a link, so that all the pictures which I also imported as PAF Pictures are automatically re-linked to the proper individuals ?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Importing pictures via a GEDCOM is, I believe, a difficult problem at best in any genealogical program.

I suggest you copy the pictures from PAF Pictures folder (wherever that is) to a new folder named Scrapbook that must be located in the same folder (probably the Applications folder) that contains PAW2X. Then you will have to go to each person in the PAWriter data file, open that person's wallet and add the appropriate pictures.

Sorry that it isn't any easier than that.

Best,
Howard

:'(Thanks Howard. Not the answer I wanted to read, but I guess that is that. Will keep me busy on long winter evenings. Thanks again for your prompt answer.
