Arnold,
With your system, how do you then quickly find a specific Source Detail for editing, attaching a revised/new media file, etc.?

Here are some samples: Book: Bio. - Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge - American Patron of Music Book: Misc. - Notable American Women - The Modern Period Cemetery: MN, Ramsey, St. Paul, Resurrection Cemetery Census/U.S. Federal: 1910 Informant: Milstead, Claudia Newspaper / U.S. / IL: Chicago Daily Tribune Place / U.S.A. / MA: Billerica, Vital Records of, to the Year 1850 Surname / Phelps: Phelps Family of Amer & Eng Ancestors Thus all books, cemeteries, places, surnames, and on, appear grouped. Lets me do the "quickly find" thing you mention below..

I have always prefixed my Source List Names with the File ID - ex. "2423 - 1920 US Census, Parks Bar Twp., Yuba Co., CA - Three Scott Families" - which is also part of the attached media name - ex. 2423_IMG.jpg (obviously I'm a splitter, not a lumper). That makes finding the source easy, but a list of all source names, sorted alpha-numerically, looks "helter-skelter." When sorted by the text after the File ID, the source names are better organized and visually useful in finding typos and inconsistencies in data entry. But then it seems much harder to find particular sources for editing or citation selection. I've suggested to the Legacy folks that a "search by File ID" ability would be very useful (and it would solve my problem). But until that happens I'm looking for ideas from other users. One caveat - I can't use source details for "primary" source information and attached media (ie, no lumping) as my TNG website won't "see" media attached to source details in a GEDCOM, just the Detail Information and Text/Comments.
