I am consulting an old Reunion Family file with about 7,000 entries. Many of these records have images pasted into them. I no longer have access to the original images. When I enter Tree View on this file there is always a long pause while Reunion searches for images which of course it can't find. It's really quite frustrating to have to wait one or two minutes each time I change levels in Tree View. Is there some way I can address this? I can't restore the images as I don't have them, and the thought of locating and deleting thousands of images one at a time does not really appeal to me! Any suggestions?

Yes. Try "exporting" a Reunion family file without multimedia links. This is done by opening your family file and choosing File -> Export -> Reunion Family File. When you see this window...Originally posted by meayrs View Post

...select All people, All sources, No multimedia, and Logs (if you made use of them). After exporting/saving that exported file, begin using it from now on.
I hope you find this information helpful

Deb - as a follow-up question and just out of interest: Suppose the existing Reunion file has some images associated with it which you would like to save/re-use, and some are missing. If choosing the Export / Import route with multimedia - does Reunion omit missing file records or does it still export missing file records? With or without 'Copy multimedia files to a new folder'?--

As long as the option to export "All multimedia" is selected, the "links" to even those broken items will be included in the exported family file using Reunion's Export -> Reunion Family File feature.Originally posted by eric.vanbeest View Post
