Richard,

Tried as your instructions below; Check & Repair did not crash but the inserted 
media was turned from a hyperlink into a ‘picture’ (when checking from the 
master source list) which Legacy couldn’t find when I tried to open it.

I used http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gouin-89 and everything before the last/ 
was deleted by the Check & Repair function so it appears there is a serious 
problem with this routine.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Don't use Check Repair



There is a very serious problem with the Check / Repair tool in L8.



I am using version 8.0.0.439.



Here is how you can verify it using the Sample file.



For Asa Clark Brown, RIN1, click on his Sources icon. Select any event (I used 
Unspecified because it is top of list).



Add a new source called WWW. Edit detail and select Media tab and add media > 
Internet Website.



Now paste one of the following into the Website URL and Caption:



 <https://www.google.com/> https://www.google.com/



 <http://www.detroitnews.com/> http://www.detroitnews.com/



 <https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N3JY-54F>

If you use one of the first 2 no problem except they are not a good source. If 
you use one of the last 6 (all valid sources from my

database) you crash the Check / Repair tool.



If you add a forward slash on the end of the 6 valid source websites it doesn't 
crash but it also doesn't open.



But the problem goes way beyond disabling the Check / Repair tool.



Now go to his wife or anyone unrelated even. Click on Media Gallery and Add 
Media > Video (I attached an AVI file but I suspect any video type will do).



Now run the Check / Repair tool and it does not crash.



Go back to Asa Clark and check your web source. It is now a Video icon with the 
web address in the caption.



I don't know if the video file has to be avi to mess up the web citation but an 
mp4 does not change it.
