Ron, The renaming went fine and my backup program seemed to recognize the file was changed so I didn't notice that the date had not changed (which is fine with me since the name changed, not the actual picture). I had this problem once or twice with Version 7.5 so the problem is not new. I tried it again with just one picture and again Legacy couldn't find the picture once I renamed it. In the past I have changed the name back but I really want the names changed. I didn't change the folder, just the name. I'm doing everything the same way I always have so it must be another variable I'm not aware of. I'm hoping someone else can replicate so I can submit the bug (or just not do whatever the problem is).
As a side note, I always shut down Legacy (and backup) but rarely shut down my computer, which often causes problems. I will try shutting down the computer and see what happens. -- Kirstin On 3/30/2014 9:40 AM, C.G.
