Hello

I would like to insert a picture (icon) for each person included in my family tree.

How to settle Yed to proceed automatically to pick up the right picture and to place it inside the corresponding label?

Thanks

Daniel

It is possible to use yEd's properties mapper to set the icon of a label. For this to work, the path to the icon file has to be stored in your diagram's custom properties. Moreover, the exact setup depends on how you store that path.

E.g. if you have a GEDCOM file with OBJE tags like so

0 @I1@ INDI
...
1 OBJE
...
2 FILE /absolute/path/to/image.jpg

Then the following properties mapper configuration will work:
