You can already do that. Tools>Picture Centre. My only beef with the procedure is that one cannot copy and paste the existing filename prior to modifying it, but must type in all of the new filename. Very often I am making minor modifications to a filename (to keep naming patterns consistent) and I've found the easiest and quickest way to do this is to have an Explorer window open showing the same Directory and copying the filename there, then switching to the Legacy window and pasting the filename, then modifying it. With regard to having files of the same name, if that system works for you then that's fine. (However, you are saying that it is causing problems with Legacy!) Personally, I find it much preferable to have a file named "BC - Bloggs, Joe 123" in a folder named "Birth Certificates" and a file named "MC - Bloggs, Joe 123" in a folder named "Marriage Certificates" than to have 2 (or more) files named "Bloggs, Joe 123."
