We are beta testing a program that reads the GEDCOM output of Family Tree Maker and modifies it.
The resulting file will upload to a TNG site and display all fields, files and photos.
FEBRUARY 6: TNG Version 9 will calculate geocodes for new uploads and existing sites.

1. FTM allows the use of an added Description Field for facts such as Birth,
Marriage, Death and Burial, etc. They encourage users to enter the City, County,
State and Country in the Place Field. The Description field can hold the address,
Church name, cemetery name, etc. The TNG program does not recognize the way
FTM stores the Description in at least nine facts and it is not presented on the
user's TNG WEB site.
This program will fix this in one of three user selectable formats.
2. Media Links are now stored in the 2012 version of Family Tree Maker's GEDCOMs. TNG will not attach Titles and Descriptions to the individuals and facts. The program will fix this. (NOTE: FTM stores links from the Scrapbook only and not ones attached to sources.)
3. FTM allows a picture from the scrapbook to be displayed as the primary one for an individual. FTM saves this information in the GEDCOM but TNG doesn't attach it to the individual. The program will fix this.
4. FTM forgot to export the Latitude and Longitude. That's OK because TNG version 9 will geocode places in bulk and to have all new places automatically geocoded at the time of entry.
5 A method is suggested for file naming conventions to sort and store files by Photos, Histories, Documents, Media, etc. The program assigns TYPES to the GEDCOM file allowing the each file to reside in the appropriate folder.
NEW - FTM Gedcoms do not export a FORM field with media files. In TNG, If the cursor hovers over a media item, the preview does not appear. The program fixes this.

Screen Shot of the Program
NEW-- Geocodes will be added with TNG version 9. This
program will have a button to load a tng_places table that
was exported from an existing TNG site. If Place and
Zoom levels are not calculated. this program will insert
them - Under Development.
