Hi all,

I want to automate adding photos to my gedcom file.

I created a trivial file in PAF 5.2.18.0 and added a photo and got the following file:

0 HEAD
1 SOUR PAF
2 NAME Personal Ancestral File
2 VERS 5.2.18.0
2 CORP The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
3 ADDR 50 East North Temple Street
4 CONT Salt Lake City, UT 84150
4 CONT USA
1 DEST PAF
1 DATE 23 Dec 2012
2 TIME 17:12:31
1 FILE test.ged
1 GEDC
2 VERS 5.5
2 FORM LINEAGE-LINKED
1 CHAR UTF-8
1 LANG English
1 SUBM @SUB1@
0 @SUB1@ SUBM
1 NAME Stephen Woodbridge
0 @I1@ INDI
1 NAME Stephen /Woodbridge/
2 SURN Woodbridge
2 GIVN Stephen
1 SEX M
1 _UID 51190DB94CBF254F8654B3F06C2E42343CF0
1 CHAN
2 DATE 23 Dec 2012
3 TIME 17:11:18
1 OBJE
2 FORM jpg
2 FILE Misc photos\Steve-large.jpg
2 TITL This is a caption.
2 NOTE Bla bla bla.
2 _SCBK Y
2 _PRIM Y
2 _TYPE PHOTO
2 _SSHOW Y
0 TRLR

I tried to create the same in Gedcom.pm but I get these warnings:

FORM is not a sub-item of OBJE
FILE is not a sub-item of OBJE
TITL is not a sub-item of OBJE
*:0: FILE is not a sub-item of OBJE
*:0: TITL is not a sub-item of OBJE
*:0: FORM is not a sub-item of OBJE

The output file appears to be created as requested, but I'm not sure why I'm getting these warnings.

I also noticed that PAF adds a lot of _TAG items to the file. Is this part of the standard for application specific tags?

Thanks,
  -Steve
