Hello Chris,
If all else fails... one trick I've used for a few things like this is
to generate a gedcom of your database. Obviously for this time you need
to include graphic links. Then open the gedcom with a text editor and
do a Search for part of the filename. The line with that filename will
begin with a number, and the lines immediately above it with a lower
number will indicate the item that's linked to the filename.
This trick also comes in handy when searching for specific text that you
know exists somewhere in a Legacy file.
Hope this helps.
Cheers! -- Dave N.

All,
I'm trying to sort out the mess I have created over the years with media
files :-) and have got to the point where, when I remove a file which is
duplicated, I end up with a message like this from the Media Relinker
Missing Media Files in: C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Legacy Family
Tree\Data\SWANN-ELSBURY.fdb
Media File: Name: Source Detail: Joseph Edgar SWANN [3841]
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media\SWANN
Media\Electoral Roll\UK\London England Electoral Registers 18471965(50).jpg
which makes perfect sense - I have moved/renamed a file and the link in
the system is no longer valid
MOST of the time I am able to find the error pointed to without any
problem and make the appropriate changes. However, this particular file
is defying all attempts to locate the offending data and resolve the issue.
I have tried the Media Gallery and every individual event, all to no
avail. I know that the file refers to an event in 1959 and have found in
the Event for this the correct file - but cannot find the "error" file
anywhere !!
Does anyone have a method they use in circumstances like this to resolve
the issue ?
While making the latest batch of changes I renamed/moved three
duplicated files and found and fixed the other 2 within seconds !!
Thanks in advance,
Chris Swann
