Hi Joel, Well, I do have an untested reason to avoid the code by hand method. If I manually coded the link to Folder A/A.pdf. When I go to Folder A, select A.pdf, click view usage, would the location I manually coded be recognized as one of the area in the project that uses it?
Since you already have a project, would you mind testing: 1. Manually code link to a file that had no usage before 2. Go to folder, file, check usage, does it recognize the linking? 3. Preview page now, so CMS runs the manual linking code. 4. Go to folder, file, check usage, does it recognize the linking now? 5. Manually remove link to a file 6. Go to folder, file, check usage, does it recognize the removed linking? 7. Preview page now, 8. Go to folder, file, check usage, does it recognize the removed linking now?
