Can i export  my GEDCOM file with absolute paths to .JPG files in tag "1 OBJE=>2 FILE"? But not to page with image.

Its for synchro with bases that i have outside WikiTree.

OR all images/sources will be forever only on WikiTree pages?

Have a nice day

Hi M. Welcome to G2G!

If you are referring to downloading a GEDCOM file from WikiTree using

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:DownloadGedcom

then sorry the answer to your questions is no. The resulting GEDCOM file will include a copy of the biography text of each profile, and if that contains image templates they will be present verbatim, with the name but not the link of the JPEG or other image files.

I could be mistaken but I don't think images in the right margin of profiles will be mentioned in the GEDCOM file at all.

thank you, Jim!

is this a bug or a feature? I must to ask because topola-viewer sees the paths to .JPG and builds a graph with them.

Users will be forced to write robots that will deliver images, but this will create a load on the servers. Why is it like this?

This does NOT meet the fair and safe rule that "I can always take everything I brought". Especially in cases dangerous to the WikiTree.
