David, Assuming that all your images, no matter how many containing folders you have, have unique file names then the method which you describe will find all the Legacy images in the folder to which you have directed it. You will need to repeat this, once, for all folders.
However if the file names are not unique then you will have to do it for each image, otherwise you images will be wrongly linked.

I still have my legacy files and photos/ certificates etc, but can't get them to link up. The footprints for all the linked files are in the Legacy file, but all the photo's etc are coming up black with question marks. All my 'media' files are kept in my documents folder and not in the Legacy programme. Try as I might, I can't seem to get Legacy to read the locations. e.g. If I click on to bring up the 'Individual's Information' box, on the same line as the surname is the 'coloured picture frame'. If I click on it. the 'find file' box comes up. Out of the four options, I take 'Browse for the file yourself'. I find the file, click on, and it takes me back to the 'Browse for the file...' box, to find the next picture. I can go through this process until eventually it takes me to the 'Picture Gallery' for that person. All the boxes are greyed out with the titles/info. correctly displayed at the bottom. The 'find file' box continues to come up, and I am asked to link the pictures again, which I do. The photo's then appear. If I close the picture gallery and open it again, all pictures are replaced by black boxes with question marks. Any ideas?
