Looks like each and every file has to be done individually.
I also noticed each time I select to manually find (Browse for the file
yourself) the 30 files I am sent to the
Default location of family files, instead of Default location of
picture, sound, video files Picture Files which is the directory I would
have thought I would have started in.
It would have been nice if whatever I last changed would have been
remembered including the last file name selected considering I am going
to change the same file 30 times. I have to do 7 clicks each time, only
210 clicks and I got through the whole process.
I have several Census files that I'd like to rename associated with many
individuals, unfortunately my naming convents were not thought out when
I first started, maybe I'll wait until Version 7 comes out and see if
there is possibly a Master List associated with pictures.
If there was a crc was associated with each of the images, then if files
were renamed the first attempt in location could be to associate old
name with new name if CRCs are identical.
thanks,
john

Is there an easy way to do the following
I had a shipping manifest which I created a jpg lets say 1931.jpg
Assigned it one by one to the 30 individuals using add pictures (I
submitted enhancement request to see if tag feature could be applied
to pictures)
Now I discovered that I misspelled the name of the picture it should
be 1930.jpg
I rename it, now all 30 individuals the picture was assigned to
can't find the picture.
Similar to Masterlist where one can make a global change to certain
information,
can I do this once without going back in 30 times and changing the name?
You can redirect Legacy to a file with a changed name this way:
Rename the file. Then go to Options, Customise, Locations and click
on Test All Multimedia Paths...
When the program discovers it can't file the picture by the old
filename you will be offered several options, including Browse for the
File Yourself. Click on this and browse for the file with the new
filename and select it and click Open.
Legacy will then ask you if you want to use this new filename and you
click yes.
I don't know if Legacy will then automatically associate that new
filename with *all* instances of the old one or not. If it doesn't,
you will find the correct folder opens each time you click Browse for
the File Yourself so it is very quick to find renamed file.
