Ward, If you do not have the path in the gedcom, then TNG will NOT be able to PROPERLY create the links to your media.
The export from Legacy will either include the pics or not, there is no choice about the path (but I am still using Ver 7.5) The simplist way to make things easy is to duplicate the online paths on your own pc. Root_home online = C drive tng home directory = /genealogy/ or whatever you use for the main folder in your c drive. then have folders under that for each type of collection in tng. photos/ documents/ Headstones/ etc. Then in your TNG Admin settings go to IMPORT setup and in the place for pathnames for collections like in photos c:\genealogy\photos\ Hope that helps.
