I have copy and moved the multimedia file into my projects and renamed it Media.   When I go into my documents on my computer the folders are as follows: Family Historian Projects, My Family Tree, My Family Tree.fh_data, Media,  when this media file is opened all my folders of diferent peoples photos are there. However when I open my Family Historian and my project Family tree go on the tab for multimedia and all my photos do not show all of them have a cross through tham. When I go into work with external files I remap a file with a cross and click on remap within the project folder and choose the folder I want it in. Nothing happens. Help please.

You say you "click on remap within the project folder and choose the folder I want it in. Nothing happens." I presume by "Nothing happens" you mean the X remains against the file(s). You cannot choose a folder where you would like the file(s) to be stored. You must choose the folder where each multimedia file is currently actually stored. Move the multimedia files into the 'Media' folder or sub-folders first, then use 'Work with External File Links' to correct the mapping. Furthermore, the filenames in 'Work with External File Links' must be identical to the actual filenames. You can use the 'Edit' button to correct them if necessary. Only when the path in 'Work with External File Links' exactly matches the actual file path, will the associated X vanish.
