| I10 | NONSTANDARD MULTIMEDIA FILELINKS
Comments on "Nonstandard Multimedia Filelinks" INDIVIDUAL Record. File links in GEDCOM are created by having an OBJE structure with the path name to the file in a subordinate FILE tag and the format of the file in a subordinate FORM tag. It does not make sense to limit file links to the small set of file types mentioned in the GEDCOM standard (see INDIVIDUAL record "Standard GEDCOM Filelinks" for those file types). This INDIVIDUAL record has links to other types of multimedia files including movie files, other image file types, and some Macintosh file types. What will a genealogy program do when in encounters to logical extensions to GEDCOM file links? Good programs will follow the links. Weaker programs will simply delete them from your file (it is bad manners to delete someone's data). Some other possible multimedia file type not yet linked to this record are: avi - Microsoft movie file midi - sound file mp3 - music file     |
