Re: [LegacyUG] Renaming Pictures
I did a quick test and it looks like if you do the rename from the Legacy Picture Center, that it will change ALL entries.

Re: [LegacyUG] Renaming Pictures
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 Jenny M Benson wrote: John Magyari wrote 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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Renaming Pictures
Jenny, You could use a master source and have the picture attached to it. Then cite that source on all people involved. If the picture name changes, you only need to fix the master source.
