Pictlist.dbm is considered an internal file and is, in reality, not well maintained. Not every Legacy media tool will maintain it.

Following on from Mikes example.. I only have one picture called grandpa.bmp available to any and everything this is located in folder Z:\media\grandpa.bmp. When I look at grandpa in Legacy on desktop in the picture centre it shows a ' + ' next to grandpa.bmp and gives the correct location of Z:\media\grandpa.bmp.
When I look at grandpa in Legacy on netbook in the picture centre it shows a ' - ' next to grandpa.bmp but also gives the correct location of Z:\media\grandpa.bmp.

- From the 7.5 Help file - topic = Picture Centre
- The U column to the left of the file names indicates whether or not each picture
- has been attached to someone in your family file already. The + means that
- picture in that folder has been attached to someone. The - means that file name
- has been attached to someone but from a different picture folder. For example,
- you may be looking at grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Pictures folder but another file
- called grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Reunion\Pictures folder is currently being used
- somewhere in your file. (You should be careful not to have different picture
- files with the same name located in different folders. It will surely confuse
- you at some pointâ¬Â¦
