Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia file
108 refers to either the RIN or the MRIN, but probably the RIN. Record Identification Number. Those numbers in the bottom right of most screens; H, M, and W are the husband's RIN, the MRIN and the wife's RIN. Click in one the RIN boxes, a small window will come up. Type in 108, hit Enter and see where it takes you. Then click around through your picture galleries and you should see the missing file represented by a question mark. It may be in the individual's gallery or it may be attached (in this case, not attached) as a source document in one of the other picture galleries. - JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://jlog.jgen.ws/ On 2/6/2013 8:39 PM, Chuck Schober wrote: > The error message tells me that individual 108 is missing a file called > abc.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia file
Hi Chuck, Have you gone to person #108 and taken a look at him/her? I've just been moving some folders around, so have some "missing" pictures myself at the moment that I haven't caught up yet, so now is a good time to do it... Running Options > Customise > Locations > Test All Multimedia Paths produces a text file (Missing.txt) listing what it finds. In my report, run just now, the entry says: Picture: Catherine CARROLL [251] C:\Users\wendy\Dropbox\Family Documents\Photos\Photos - Schlager\CARROLL Catherine.jpg The Picture Gallery is the first place I would look. Click on the picture frame icon for that person, and (in my case, at least) a window comes up saying " was not found within the picture/sound/video/file folders." There are four buttons provided to remedy the situation, and in my case I'm going to select the one "Browse for the File Yourself" (since I know where the file is now kept, having just moved it recently). A "Load Picture File" window opens, where you can navigate to where the file is located. Double-click on the right file to select it, then continue to save/close windows to complete the action. If this doesn't solve your problem, try checking any events for that person that have images attached (in case the test didn't catch those), and any sources that might have images attached. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Chuck Schober said the following on 7/02/2013 5:39 p.m.: > The error message tells me that individual 108 is missing a file > called abc.
