Ron,
What Lisa has are duplicate entries in the table which links people and
pictures so Legacy displays the same picture twice in the person's
picture gallery. What she wanted was a way for Legacy to find and
automatically eliminate these duplicate entries. Since there is no such
ability in the program I gave her a way to produce a report which she
can use to find the people who have those duplicate links. Unfortunately
she will then have to visit each person with duplicates and use the
remove button on their picture gallery to remove the duplicate links.

Brian,
I am really confused with this thread (it doesn't take much!). Lisa says
that she does not have duplicate pictures but duplicate paths and file
names, whereas Richard tells us that there are duplicate pictures.
As attachments to this (my) email address are stripped I simply cannot
now tell what the problem actually is. Perhaps this point can be clarified?

You can produce a list of all your pictures:
Go to View > Scrapbook
Turn on all the options for pictures to include
All Individuals and the types of pictures for them
All Marriages and the types of pictures for them
All the other possibilities (locations, Master sources Source details
etc.
Click the Print Picture List Button
On the Picture List Options Screen select Include Description of what
photo is linked to.
Click Preview
I think you will find that the report will group all the same pictures
together.

I'm in the process of learning Legacy, but I have a problem I'm
hoping some of the experts on this group can help me with. Another
software program put in duplicate entries for photos and documents
(all duplicates are multimedia items) attached to the genral person
or a person's fact item. They are EXACT duplicates referencing the
same image, and making the image and it's description appear twice on
a fact/person. :( Is there a way to have Legacy search for and
consolidate/remove so that there is only one reference to each
multimdedia item? If not, is there a way for me to get Legacy to give
me a list of people with duplicates so I can more easily locate
them. This is a MESS and I'm hoping Legacy, which is apparently a
much more powerful application, can help me straighten it out.
Thx!
Lisa
