The replacement incoming GEDCOM does not have any media information in it -- it was created by Family Tree Maker.
The database already contains media information because that was added during previous sessions.
The import options for this scenario are:
- Replace database contents: yes
- Keep media links, etc: yes
The GEDCOM configuration has the "Synchronize edits into GEDCOM file" option set to "yes".
The database is OK after the import, but the GEDCOM in the "index" directory still doesn't contain any media information.
I think this is incorrect: The GEDCOM that PGV uses during subsequent sessions SHOULD contain the media information from the database.
A quick-and-dirty fix for this would be for PGV to, immediately after the Import, create a GEDCOM-for-export but keep it on the server and then USE it. This would only need to be done if the "Keep media links" option was set on Import.
