Re: [LegacyUG] PICTURE coding

My understanding (and it seems to work for me) is that I need to link just ONE of the pictures in the new subfolder. Legacy then knows that this subfolder holds at least one linked picture. It adds this path to the search order and it will then be able to find all the other pictures in that subfo
