Jenny:
Instead of letting Legacy look for the missing files navigate to each
one yourself and when Legacy says something like "original file was xxx,
do you want to use this one which is yyy?" you tell it you do. Legacy
will then stop looking for the original filename and recognize the new
filename.
That is what I expected to happen and did happen on the other twenty
missing files when I started the media file check yesterday. I clicked on the
correct picture but it showed the picture as a new picture with no caption,
date, description or file ID so I filled in the information and continued with
the other five files of interest. The rest of the files were fixed as you
said. So I now get those six as still missing but they are not.
