Brian, I'm trying to catch up on posts I've flagged for follow-up. Do you have any more information about how renaming an image file in the Picture Center does or does not keep the links from that image to source citations? I would think that the Picture Center does keep things linked to citations. Otherwise, I would end up with broken links when I renamed the image in Picture Center & it was also linked to one or more citations, right? I don't remember experiencing that.

Not sure about whether links to sources will be changed. The Picture Center does not really work for files linked to sources.
