I'm using Reunion 14 (14.02) on macOS and generating the Website report with media pages. I'm seeing behavior I can't explain, and I'd like to know whether it's a setting I've missed or a bug.
1. Media on Census, Residence, or a custom event doesn't create a media page; media on Birth does
A man in my file has one image, a page from a 1924 address book. It is attached to his 1924 Residence event and to his Occupation fact. His two sons have the same image attached the same way (Residence and Occupation), but they also have their birth records attached to their Birth events.
In the web report, both sons get a media page, and the address-book image appears on it. The father gets no media page, so the image doesn't appear anywhere for him, and his person page has no media icon.
I tested by moving the father's image to different event types and regenerating the report each time:
So images on some events create a media page, and images on others only appear when a page already exists for another reason. (I haven't tested other events, such as Death or Burial.) Is there a report setting that controls which events' media count, or is this a bug?
2. The same image appears twice on a media page
When one file is attached to two items for a person (e.g., an Occupation fact and a Residence-type event, both supported by the same address-book page), the media page shows it twice. Is there a way to have each file appear once per person?
Thanks for any help.

| Residence + Occupation fact | No |
| A custom event (included in the report, and shown on his person page) | No |
| Census | No |
| Birth | Yes |
| The person (not to an event) | Yes |
