Okay, I take that back. It LOOKS nice that the file has been renamed, but the links have NOT been updated. Further, since the file is no longer in the picture list with the old name, the arrows to go to next/prev individual with picture are useless. The four-option window (where I can browse for the file myself) doesn't pop up until you select an individual with the missing pictures. Will go back to the process where I use >Customize>Locations. At least I can get it done.
Can anyone tell me when you would want to use the rename button in the picture center? (given that the links are not fixed---or maybe I'm doing something wrong?)

NOW I am moving quickly through my get-rid-of-spaces and resize-big-files project!

But if you go to Customize on the Locations tab and click "Check Multimedia Links" (paraphrasing)... then uncheck the "write to file" box and click "Proceed" -- it will prompt you with 4 options, one being to "browse for file yourself"... then you can find the file you want to replace the "missing" one. When you select the new file, it asks you if you're sure you want to use this one instead of the other. Tedious, but it will work. On the other hand, you might be able to add the new folder(s) to the location list for picture files and be done with it. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but I'm sure someone else here will chime in. I think you have to NOT change any filenames for that to work. Lastly, though, Dennis might reply with a way to do it using LTools, but he would probably need more detail. Like, is it just the paths that your changing, or filenames, too? Good luck! --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ----- Original Message ---- From: Joshua Crump <j...@joshuacrump.com> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Mon, September 12, 2011 9:37:27 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Converting to a New File System Legacy Users, I currently have a file system for all of my Genealogy research setup like this: C:\Users\Joshua Crump\Dropbox\Family\Docs for all of my Documents. My questions if I organize it by surname for example C:\Users\Joshua Crump\Dropbox\Family\Docs\Crump\Census Records. How do I go about fixing the broken links in Legacy? Thanks, Joshua T.
