I had forgotten that you have to copy the URL to the internal browser. I was away from my computer when I wrote my earlier replay. However, to your point #2, you can merge web media directly into FTM without saving first to your hard drive. To make it work, you must first click the media tab in the lower left pane. Then when you mouse over the desired web image, it will be surrounded by a dotted green border. Click the image to copy it to the lower tight merge window. It may also open in an image viewer, but close that. You can add additional images if desired. When you click "Merge" all media items and text info will be linked to the selected person in one slick step.

It only works when the image is displayed within the internal browser of the Web Search window. Unfortunately, when you click on a match to FAG, FTM doesn't use the internal browser but rather opens the site in an external browser. You can get around this by copying the URL from the external browser and pasting it into the Address line of the Web Search work area. Then you need to click the right mouse button to select the Save Image As option. 2. The web clipping feature normally merges the selected information into the data base. This does not happen with the images. They are stored in the folder you specify but you must then use the Add Media item to create the thumbnail and the link to the media file.
