One very disagreeable task I have run into with FO scrapbooks is the work to reassign locations of scrapbook items when I transfer my database from one computer to another. It seems that the directory tree is always different for one reason or another. I would like for the FO (or RootsMate) program to provide for a default directory for all scrapbook items. Such a default directory could be a named sister or sub directory of the directory containing the database itself, and the applicable part of the item address would be assumed to be the same as that of the database. Of course, the default location for the scrapbook items could be the same directory as the database itself, but I do not particularly like that solution. I do add and edit photos frequently, and would prefer not to mess with files in the database directory. Then, as a second (and much lesser) wish, I would like to have an FO option to backup the scrapbook items as well as the database.
