    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: roger_neilson Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.software.ftmmac/142.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: #3 - AKA use. Answer: in Charts and Reports, as a Name option. Not very useful, surely AKA should be part of the person's data? My main complaint is that despite mentioning AKA there is nothing in the help files to tell you what/how to use it. #2 - Where did this file come from? or where was it created that you have multiple copies of the SAME, exact, media file. The creation of the material on the web is messy and will produce multiple copies of an image when used for a load of people in a family, short of being very careful this does happen. A routine that lets you find an image then apply it to lots of people on a tree would be very handy, there are several workflow issues that could be smoother for users, this is just one of them. If you have one image, that you want linked to many people, you use the Link To option. If you have multiple copies of the same image, linked to many individuals, you can Unlink, and Link to the one image. Then you can delete Media files that are not linked to any one. Yes I appreciate this can be done, but almost every other bit of Mac software I have (and I have a lot) has the ability to do a multiple select.... which would make it a lot smoother.
