I believe that the original poster didn't suggest that the deletion of the info was a bug. He knew he had made a mistake. What he was upset with is that he couldn't restore the links by restoring from a prior backup copy.
This does seem to be a serious problem. If something were to go awry on my system, and I had to reinstall from backup, I too would be most distressed if the backup omitted to restore links to my multimedia.

After my initial comment I thought that there must be a bug, as the picture file name and the path are contained in two separate files: tblBR contains the name of the picture and tblBP the path. From your description is seems that both tables have have the picture records removed - can you confirm this? As you say, I do not now think this is a bug as the bar clearly states that clicking will remove the record. However, it does bring a thought to mind. I doubt if there will be many, if any, times when someone wishes to remove all the record, but I can envisage circumstances whereby one just wishes to remove the paths. Perhaps the button could enforce a choice, at least it would minimise accidental deletion of the lot! I cannot think of a way round your problem, other than on my PC (HP WIN7 64bit) it routinely creates a backup of all the HD without prompting, I don't suppose that you have overlooked this possibility - if it exists on your PC.
