William, My advice is do not use RINs in media file names. Over the course of time RINs numbers are likely to change for some individuals as you delete records and merge individuals, which leaves gaps in the RIN sequence (abandoned RINs). Legacy can use these "abandoned" RINs when you import GEDCOMs or add new people or renumber RINs to fill gaps. A photo name RIN135tombstone five years ago might not belong to the person with RIN 135 today.
I like to name pictures of people by surname, given name(s) and a short description like "Newborn" or "45thBirthday" etc. -------- Original Message -------- > From: "William Hoff" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2014 6:59 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [LegacyUG] Media File Names > > I've read here that media file names should have no caps and no spaces.
