I am doing this slowly for another reason, and my file names are each changing. But if you go to Customize on the Locations tab and click "Check Multimedia Links" (paraphrasing)... then uncheck the "write to file" box and click "Proceed" -- it will prompt you with 4 options, one being to "browse for file yourself"... then you can find the file you want to replace the "missing" one. When you select the new file, it asks you if you're sure you want to use this one instead of the other. Tedious, but it will work.
On the other hand, you might be able to add the new folder(s) to the location list for picture files and be done with it. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but I'm sure someone else here will chime in. I think you have to NOT change any filenames for that to work. Lastly, though, Dennis might reply with a way to do it using LTools, but he would probably need more detail. Like, is it just the paths that your changing, or filenames, too?

My questions if I organize it by surname for example C:\Users\Joshua Crump\Dropbox\Family\Docs\Crump\Census Records. How do I go about fixing the broken links in Legacy? Thanks, Joshua T.
