Experimenting with that issue, I linked some files from folders in another drive on my system, to events in my own record. Then I created a multimedia backup. I find that the files are listed in folders without the drive letters. Those folders that are from another drive than the one containing the multimedia backup, are listed separately. For example, the images I linked from the drive on which Legacy is installed, are all in folders under a Legacy main folder. The files from other drives are in (in this case) a main folder titled "Graphics" though they came from a drive on which that Graphics folder is a sub-folder of the root. The drive letter, and the root folder are stripped away. Under that main Graphics folder are two additional folders named as they were on that other drive, and under that are the linked files. My next question is if I unzip the backups from someone else's computer to make them available to my database, can I use the "Combine" feature we've been discussing to link all those added images? I don't know the answer to that one yet. My tendency would be to place those added images in folders where I normally store such things, then link them to the appropriate events if the Legacy data backup did not include the original links. I haven't experimented enough to know whether linking paths come with data backup files. Do you know the answer to that? Incidentally, referring to your example of the Lancashire location, my previous genealogy program, Ancestral Quest, would have dealt with that issue simply by searching on all entries like the one with the shortened version of Lancashire, and replacing them with the preferred version. Does Legacy have a similar capability.
