The media that was linked to Legacy 7.5 database should still be linked when the file is converted to Legacy 8. If you are moving the media files to another location, then the Relinker should be able to find those media files and fix the links.
It sounds like you have copied the media files to a new location. If that is true, be sure to disconnect the former drive or delete the former folders. Otherwise, they will be found by the Relinker and those pictures will be linked instead of the new ones you created. If you changed any of the media file names, then you have a problem. Relinker is only searching for the exact same file name and then it will fix the path to that file if it is found.

I printed a list of missing, 1188, and I can link them individually. Now that will take a long time. It finds the pictures on the other flash drive where they were associated with Legacy 7.5, it is still using that drive as the designation for where they are. I wanted them to transfer over to the Legacy 8 flash drive. Media Linker won’t link them up. Am I reduced to doing each one and having the media stored on the other flash drive. This does not seem logical. I am sure there has to be a very easy way to do this. Suggestions welcome.
