Question with Media links and GEDCOM export (RM8)
Tom,
I am not a db designer so this goes beyond my area of expertise. (Based on the diagram you have a link for) Since the MediaLinks table is connect to 7 tables, including the PersonTable -and the CitationTable and the PersonTable also has connections to the EventsTable and CitationLinkTable that could be part of the issue. I am wondering if a db made from scratch (all in RM8) vs imported data will have the same issue (or maybe less severe). I still suspect something wrong with Media in general I sent Feedback yesterday on .170 because I could not add tags to a media item and the add existing media item did not work (froze up RM8)
Update: 3.5.21
I checked the medialinksTable -- I not see anything in the table that was obvious to explain a just in media links for GEDCOM. Most of the Media items had only one "ownerType" -- I can not understand how the handful that had more than one type of ownerType -- cause a jump from 8000 to 4 mil. Looks like I may play with things to clean them up too see if I can get the GEDCOM to be as expected.
