I do. I'm using ACDSee and Windows Picture Centre side by side. I still have to close Picture Centre sometimes to find a person in Legacy and it's a real pain finding my place again in Picture Centre. If I had a list of unattached pictures, I could dispense with Picture Centre altogether for this chore - just find and view them in ACDSee, check Legacy for the person and it would make life so much easier. As an example, I have several men with the same name, let's say Smith, and when I see Smith-Jones marriage.jpg, I have to check for a bride named Mary Jones as I'm not sure which Smith she married.
