You rename the file so that when you run Media Relinker it will not find the file it is looking for and will give you the Report. If you didn't rename it, Media Relinker would simply tell you there were no missing files. -- Jenny M Benson - http://jennygenes.blogspot.co.uk/ Wrexham, UK -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Great instructions, Jenny. I will try that tomorrow. Thanks for the quick response. Curious why I need to rename the file, because it cannot find the file as it is now.

[LegacyUG] Find a person attached to a picture
When I use FamiliesSync to export to my phone, I get a list of errors. I have a few errors that say "Picture file not found". Fortunately the file name has a person name, but I don't have any person with those names in my file. I recognize the names from another Family File, that may have been used as a template many years ago. I would like to eliminate the errors, but can only do that by disassociating the media from the person. The relinker can find the picture, but that is not my problem. I want to find the person looking for that picture. So my question is: How do I find the person who has media attached for file named "JONES Ralph, GA, 19271213.jpg" It could have been attached to a person, to an event, or to a source. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
