Thank you Sherry - out of all of the discussions we went through (and they were extremely extensive and went over several weeks!) no one actually mentioned size of photos.

Yes. My media gallery has been hanging. But I'm more concerned about the inability to change file names (see file renaming emails). -- Kirstin On 12/13/2013 10:32 PM, 2marion wimps wrote: > Unless someone can beat Support I am probably going to have to go back to > V7.5. > > Support have looked a

Unless someone can beat Support I am probably going to have to go back to V7.5. Support have looked at my problem and despite attempts have been unable to fix the problem. I have some files where trying to open the Media from the Media Gallery is proving a major problem. It is only the people wit
