I could be wrong, but I believe if you do not use Legacy to change the 
filename, you will lose the connection to the source,  and the great Legacy 
Media Reconnection tool will NOT be able to repair that. 
I don't have access to Legacy right now so I can't point you to the file 
renaming tool,  but I am sure someone else on the forum can do that.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Search/Replace Media File Name 
Hope this makes sense --

I need (okay, want) to go back and rename almost all of my media files 
(long story).  For the source detail File ID I'm having great success 
using Search/Replace.

However, I also have the media file linked to the source cite detail. 
So, for instance, I need to change the following:

N:\Genealogy\Media\Documents\Smith_45.pdf to
N:\Genealogy\Media\Documents\Smith_02.pdf

Since the default location hasn't changed, but the file name has, I 
don't thing Legacy can find it for me automatically.

Is there a search/replace option I can use for this?  I looked in the 
list, but didn't find anything that seemed it would work.

Thanks!
