Yes, you would be right about that. However, the OP had gotten herself
into such a state of confusion, without a clue how to proceed, it seemed
the simplest option was to give some simple straightforward advice for
how to begin.

If I am not mistaken there is one problem with unlinking everything.
Any Captions and transcriptions associated with the pictures are removed
as well.

I didn't say to delete all your picture paths. I said to delete the
ones you're not using, assuming that would be everything except the
Legacy/Pictures folder, since those are the ones you renamed
correctly, apparently. Then make a backup or several backups of
that folder.

I've really done it now!~!! I deleted all the paths in
Legacy/Pictures, but
I got most of them back from my Desktop folder. At least I
don't have
duplicate pictures in my book! Some of the pictures appear to
have been in
different folders. Now I have my work cut out!!! Next I will
try to find
them and put them back in the right Legacy/Picture folder.
Yikes~!!!

Nina, have you checked your multimedia paths under
Customize/Locations? Because that will tell you where your
pictures are coming from. Once you have that incredibly useful
information you can do this:
Go to all those "extra" locations ( Desktop, C drive, R drive,
Network drive, etc) and find the pictures and if they're just
backups, delete them. Then use the other tool there (Test
Multimedia Paths) to purge all unlinked pictures (which they
will now be i.e. unlinked.
If you can't find the pictures in all those other locations,
just delete the path to them in FilePath List you were just
looking at.
Several emails back you said you renamed your pictures (at least
one batch of them) and put them into Legacy/Pictures. If that's
the connection you want then good, make backups of that folder.

Need some help . . In wanting to publish a book in the
?Publishing Center, there were too many duplicates in
144 pictures.
I'm afraid I don't really understand your problem.
When you say "too many duplicates" do you mean that you had
multiple copies of the same photograph but with different
names? Of do you mean that some individual photographs were
appearing more than once in your book?
If the latter, were the duplicates in the same section of
the book (ie, same report) or were they in different sections?
Why did you think it necessary to delete all the pictures
from the Legacy\pictures folder?
If you can explain more precisely how you created the book
and exactly how the duplicate pictures presented, I'm sure
we can find a solution for you.
