Interesting that their website says "Roots Magic can directly import data from PAF, Legacy, TNG or Family Origins. It also imports GEDCOM files .....". That would imply that it can access the Legacy database and should be able to copy the media links.
BUT, their support site says that you need to generate a GEDCOM from Legacy and import that. So, which one is correct?
