Thanks Joseph, I like your analysis! I using Win 8.1 and now realize that some 'lockups' are the computer doing something in the background without telling me. Win8 has a watchdog/auto repair mechanism and I've learned to wait out apparent lockups. Win7 may have the same. For instance, I

If you've got two GEDCOMs, you can use the command-line fc to find differences. Of course, many if not most of those differences might be syntax or some other technical difference (line 10 in one, line 11 in the other), which makes this an activity for one of those I'm snowed in and there's

As I said, I don't have a lot of experience with this area. I have no idea how Reunion handles image files - in Legacy only a link to the image on your computer is stored, not the image itself. Exporting a GEDCOM will not affect the original Reunion file, and if you import it into a new file in
