Problem solved. View changes in your FTM tree in realtime on your smartphone or tablet. Know what the weather was like the day your grandfather was born.

Sleep better knowing that an up to date copy of your tree is securely tucked away in the cloud, that someday will be passed on to the next generation for you. If I export all my family tree maker files will they delete from FTM? Can I export into Word? Toria, exporting from FTM or from Ancestry. Exporting will not remove data from the original program or website.

The GEDCOM file can then be imported into a different program, uploaded to another website, given to a relative, or just saved on your computer, on a disk, in the cloud, etc. There would be little point for most users, anyway, as it simply contains a long list of data, with code to tell programs which people to link, and in what way.

Hi John. But before you do, make sure you have a copy of your FTM files on an external storage device before you instal the new program. I was a little disappointed they did not release FTM in Mar, but I appreciate them taking the time to get it right. Any word on how the BETA model is working? Thanks for the information. I have no idea how to download, upload or whatever it is to anything else. Is there a place I can go to for more details? I would be crestfallen if I lost my Ancestry tree.

I am just a hobbyist but I have been doing this on and off for more than 25 years. Thank you…. Hi Linda! Do that regularly. Hi Amy, for years I have had the issue of only being able to get my media off of ancestry. Would you like for me to be a test bed for you to make your script work on ChromeOS?

I appreciate the offer, however this script is not targeted at a school audience or the ChromeOS. Most people doing significant ancestry research are using traditional desktop computers where they can store all their research.

Yes, it is normal for the script to download those. They are used to store meta data about the files being downloaded that I am unable to put in the filename of the file itself during download. The main purpose for this script is simply to allow me to backup my ancestry files on my Windows computer. I just released it in case anyone else had the same need.

For what it is worth, to you and anyone else reading this post. I just tested this extension on a Chromebook with Chrome OS 70, and it worked perfectly.

I download the app today. I am on media files, and hit download. It copied the first picture in csv file and only the first picture. That is very odd, I just tested the photos and they are working for me.

Someone has had issues doing it on a Chromebook. What type of computer are you using? I test on Windows I am at a loss as to why it would not work for you when the other tab does. You could try opening up the page and going straight to photos.

Perhaps doing stories first caused a problem when you moved on to photos. I just get the csv file. Anything I can do to troubleshoot it?

Try it now, I just released a new version that should overcome this issue. I just updated my Chrome, and I am now seeing the same issue.

It is redirecting to the first image instead of downloading it. It is possible this is a Chrome issue, or an ancestry issue, you could try rolling back to an earlier version of Chrome, which does not sound fun.

Otherwise, as soon as I get time I will try to figure out the issue and fix it. If you are a javascript developer, all Chrome extensions get downloaded to your computer upon install, which gives you the source code, and you can modify and re-package the extension on your own. It looks like ancestry. The first change is that they started using a separate subdomain to serve up their images. This breaks the javascript i was using.

However, in doing this change, they also seem to have broken their own site. Clicking on the image in ancestry. I think we are going to have to wait until they fix their site and things settle down to see if there is going to be an option to bring my plugin back to life.

Hi, I'm using ancestry. Currently ancestry. I have not had time to find a successful hack around this. At the moment it looks like it really will have to be a hack to reduce browser security if I am ever able to get it working again. Hi, Jereme, I've just downloaded your extension and followed the instructions for downloading photos from ancestry.

When I click on "Download Media" after having navigated to the ancestry. Any ideas? Jan HallAugust 08, Hi, I was so looking forward to downloading over images with your extension but I am seeing the issue where it opens the first image in a separate window and just sits there.

I'm using bit Chrome at Thanks for any suggestions or help. PD2 I just experienced the same problem! I have pic and docs I would like to backup. Just get the first photo. Something seems to be broken. Win 10 - Chrome Version I'm only getting the. Yes, it is a pretty big bummer. I haven't had any time to look at this lately. But the hack to make it work again is not going to be an easy one, if it will work at all.

Good news. I finally found a hack around Ancestry's new site design. I need to clean up some user experience stuff, make sure paging works and stuff, but it looks like I should be able to get this extension working again. A new version of the extension has just been uploaded to the Google Store. At the moment it seems to be working for me again. And I got it to download the actual picture file names, which is pretty cool.

However, Chrome will likely popup a few things asking you to let the extension do downloads and open and close windows. So expect that as you try to get it going. Just added support for. Should be available in the store in the next hour. Thanks for this, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. It seems to be downloading the very first photo then it gives me.

If I change to the next page it just repeats the process of downloading the first photo on the first page. Same with the. Which version are you using? And is the photo actually downloading, or just opening up in a new browser tab? Hi - great extension. Unfortunately I'm having same problem that it always starts downloading on page 1 of the photos even after pre-selecting a later page.

Also, the csv file shows 24 files for the page but only the first 13 files actually download then it moves on to next page. I am on extension version 0. Thanks in advance for any help. Hopefully I will have time this week to see if I can re-create this issue. Good news, I found and fixed both the re-starting issue, and the not downloading all the files on each page issue.

I uploaded v. Should be available in the next hour for download. Thanks for finding these by the way. I didn't even notice them when I was using it. Hi - I hate to complain because it's so wonderful you've updated this and got it working, but I'm finding it's skipping a lot of files for some reason.

Each csv page has 24 files listed, and on page 1 I got 12, on page 2 I got 6, etc. That sounds like the bug Anonymous found in v. I will try turning off my other extensions and see if that makes a difference.

I doubt that it will. What you are describing is a javascript timing issue. The plugin schedules all the downloads, then schedules the page turn. If you are using a slow browser, or for some reason I have the timing calculations wrong, then the page turn will occur before all the images have started downloading. You are correct, disabling all my extensions and closing all tabs but the Ancestry one did not make a difference. I am on a gigabit hard-wired connection though so I would think it would respond fast enough.

The other thing is, for each file it's making me click "save", which would be tedious if my Ancestry account had the 3, photos my MyHeritage account has. Ancestry only has Ah, ok, that last bit of information is key. If it is asking you to save every file then that is why it is running out of time and going on to the next page before you are done. It is expecting the download to automatically start. Go into your browser settings and adjust it so downloads do NOT always prompt you for a save location.

Instead set a default location for it to use every time. The only way I could fix this issue would be to create a setting that allows the user to manually click the next page button instead of having it automated.

And I think that would kind of defeat the point of the extension. Ok, thanks. Thanks so much for your time in updating the extension and helping me today.

Just found your extension today, I'm using chrome on Mac OS. Please say it will work, I can't wait to try it out I would expect it to work on any OS with a Google Chrome browser. Probably even Chromium. However, there has been one user who reported it not working on a Chromebook despite his using Chrome. My guess in his case though is that he was using Chrome mobile rather than full Chrome.

Thanks, I did see the user comment you mention. I'll let you know how I get on with it, you'll at least know it also works on Mac os. I hadn't seen any previous comments re mac users. Hi I tried the extension and it generates the csv file for page 1 but after downloading 1 image it just stays open on the image and doesn't progress. Any suggestions? You can try troubleshooting the code: Press F12 on the tab with the image that is supposed to download, and look for the Console, see if there are any red lines in it.

Hard to know for sure because I do not have one. I'm having the same problem as tom mc. I do have a mac and I can download the first image and the csv file but seems to sop there.

I do not have a mac, which makes troubleshooting hard. Try the F12 suggestion. Also, each image should be opening up in its own window, is that happening with the one that is downloading? I have the same issue. Here's what I get in the console: Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it. Interesting, the Mac must handle mouse commands differently from other OSs then.

Those photo windows should be opening in separate tabs, the fact that they are not means the Mac must be ignoring the Ctrl key command when the mouse click event is sent.

I am using the mouse click event rather than the javascript window. Full Specifications. What's new in version 8. Introducing a brand new way to navigate your tree! Thanks for being part of the Ancestry family!
