Hello Chris, If all else fails... one trick I've used for a few things like this is to generate a gedcom of your database. Obviously for this time you need to include graphic links. Then open the gedcom with a text editor and do a Search for part of the filename. The line with that

A GEDCOM is a text only file, it cannot include pictures. The only thing included for media is the path and filename of the media files. To have the images show up on the My Heritage web site you will have to upload those files from your computer to the My heritage web servers. How you would

You must upload each picture to MyHeritage. Then you must link each picture to the person(s) who use that picture. The linkage is retained only if you do not delete the specific MyHeritage file in which you made the linkage. If you upload a new gedcom and do not delete the old MyHeritage file
