Hi Bobby, I attach the picture to a source record and have a directory called tombstones under my picture directory. Every picture is labeled with the number of the person and -tombstone. I will attach some to the people if it is an important person. I would like to see bk have an option of printing the picture from the source so I wouldn't have to add it a second time or to automatically put it in the pictures if a picture is added to a source.

I have similar: D:\genealog.y\PETER\PICS\stones (PETER is the name of the database). It's called PICS rather than PICTURE because I had it before that was the default (or at least before I knew that was the default; I don't know how long it has been). In BK, under File | Options | Text/Picture, I have "The following folder below the BK6 data files" selected with "PICS" in the box. I have other subfolders within PICS: 20 in all. Some are named with the (BK) number of someone I have lots of pics of; others are things like baptisms, births, burials, census-i.nfo, deaths, director.ies, manifest.s, marriage.s, passport, and probate, and contain images of documents; census-i.nfo is subdivided into 1841Engl.and, 1841-Wales, and so on, with files in there whose name is the BK number of the head of household, such as 34.jpg. (This is not a good idea because it fights BK's backup scheme, which doesn't like it if you have two picture files with the same name in different directories; where I'm doing genealogy for other people, I just put all those files in the same folder with a serial number, starting with "000 1960Q2 b of John Smith", and using m of, d of, or no "of" [and no Q] if it's a census entry, e. g. "030 1911 John Smith". I find this works well; YMMW. The serial number is for the order I find them in.) Within my "stones" directory, the individual pictures are named with the BK number, or if a couple both of them, such as 73.jpg or 217&216.jpg; anyone actually on the stone is linked to the picture within BK, much as anyone on the census returns are linked to the picture of that. If I have no picture of a person (but have one of a suitable stone), I usually (I think) make that the default picture for that person; that's just my choice. > >I would like to see bk have an option of printing the picture from the >source so I wouldn't have to add it a second time or to automatically >put it in the pictures if a picture is added to a source. Interesting. Sounds potentially useful. I have never used the facility to add a picture to a source, so it wouldn't help me, but I can see why that facility is there. > >Cheers, >Curt > > > >On Aug 22, 2012, at 12:41 PM, "Bobby Richardson" <dynout@att.net> wrote: > >> Does anyone store tombstone photos with individuals in BK6?

And do you print them in book reports? >> Well, mine's by what folder they're in; at least one other here has suggested putting "ts" or similar on the beginning or end of the name, assuming the main name is the BK number of the person. And I do print them (in the absence of a picture of the person), another person doesn't. >> >> >> Bobby Richardson [] -- J. P. Gilliver.
