Sherry, Sort of a different (but related) question that I was going to post anyway. I need to reorganize the file structure for my restored photos, and without going into the details, they will be moving to different directories. Thus far, I have refrained from linking photos with individuals in Legacy, knowing that the directories will be changing. Based on your comment, does that mean that if a link is broken, a question mark will appear and Legacy will be able to search for the new location? If that is the case, I will do my linking now, and correct the links as needed after I make the changes. What if there are photos by the same name in multiple directories (eg, Scans, Work in Progress, Edited/final)?
