I got it to work in FTM 2014. I exported my FTM data file with images to a GEDCOM 5.5.
Click on OK. The box "Export to GEDCOM" pops up. Instead of selecting "Other" select "FTM 16" Leave character set at "ANSI" Click OK Name your GEDCOM Watch the box that pops up to make sure it is transferring media. I tested it on a select few names that I knew had images. I don't know if it will work with Version 2009, but it's worth a try.

I don't think it will work if you are trying to establish the linking process unless an FTM GEDCOM has preserved the path to those images. What version of FTM are you using? Bill Boswell From: Diane Marcotte [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 10:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8 Unfortunately that did not work. I transferred all 2300 media files from the FTM folder I have into ….\Legacy Family Tree\Media as you suggested. I then ran the Relinker tool but still get this message “There are no Media files in this family file.” My FTM media is called “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” and it is off a folder called “Family Tree Maker” on my hard-drive. First I copied the “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” folder to Legacy Family Tree\Media and when that didn’t work I deleted the folder and copied just the 2300 media files. But I still get the message “There are no Media files in this family file.” This is the file structure I have after installing Legacy and importing my tree from FTM: You mentioned a more complicated method???
