Lloyd, I am not fully clear as to what you are saying but may I initially
clarify one or two points. It is not necessary to put your pictures in the
Picture folder in Legacy (although apart from taking up more memory, if you
don't delete the originals, there is nothing wrong with doing this.)
Secondly Legacy only remembers the path as to where the pictures are and
finally the Picture List only shows those pictures which have been linked to
a person or event etc.
This only leads to four possibilities:
1) the path is incorrect
2) the file name is incorrect
3) the picture is not linked to anything
4) the picture isn't in the folder
If 2) and 4) are correct, as you say, then the problem would seem to be
either 1) or 3), so the first thing I would do is to check that the picture
is linked to something.
There is one remote possiblity that I have come across and that is that the
file extension is incorrect ie the extension given in the name is wrong. You
can check this by trying to open the picture in Irfan View which will tell
you if this is the case. (other programs may also do this but I don't know
of one.)

Hello List,
What is the proper way to put pictures in Legacy? I have a folder in My
Pictures named Obituary Pictures and I copied the file and pasted it in the
Picture folder in Legacy. I have open the file and verified all the
pictures in
it, however, when I open Legacy and click on a person to add the picture to
and
then click on Tools> Picture Center or whatever, most of the pictures will
show in the list but, two or three will not show in the list. I can open
the
folder in Legacy and they are there with the correct file extension. I will
get
the message that the file cannot be found and if I want to search for it.
I
have tried everything I know to do including deleting the picture folder
and
reloading it to uninstalling Legacy and reinstalling it. Does anyone have
any advice on how to correct the problem?
Lloyd
