Brian, I've been doing a lot of work in the Picture Center lately, and it seems to me that maybe there is NOT a bug there... or maybe not all of the unexpected "-" usage is really a bug...?
It SEEMS that if a picture in the list is attached to an INDIVIDUAL, it has a "+" next to it, which also matches the HELP description. It also SEEMS that the pictures in the list with a "-" next to them ARE attached, but NOT to Individuals... rather to Locations, Sources or Citations, which does NOT match the HELP description........... But I think it might be better to use the "-" in this fashion (indicating a linkage to other than an Individual) than what the Help describes...??? (Still trying to discern a pattern with Marriages.) Per the OP below, there may still be an issue with "-" indicators not being re-set when a path is removed from the Location list. Then again, that would only be an issue if the "-" really was supposed to mean "this file exists in a folder other than where you are currently looking"... right? Hey, maybe an equal sign "=" could be used to indicate there are duplicate files with the same name...?? Just a thought. I don't know how far along in a fix the programmers are. Should (can?) I add this to the bug description?
