Media Usage Report

[W Houston]

Is there some way to produce a media usage report that shows the file name along with the specific individuals to which each file is linked? I am looking for the equivalent of Family Tree Maker's Media Usage Report, which was critical to my work in re-linking my FTM multimedia files to individuals when I imported my Gedcom into Reunion.

I'm hoping I'm missing something, but it appears that you can only identify the people to which a multimedia file is linked by clicking on each individual file name. My report in FTM was 134 pages, but it was much easier to work with.

Thanks for your help.

Yes. Choose Reports > Multimedia Usage. (If a report does not automatically build, click the "Build Multimedia Usage Report" button.) Then, click on the Share button (the little blue box with the arrow coming out of it) at the bottom of that report panel. Finally, select your word processor as the destination for the report and open it.

The resulting report will show the image file name, its size, the number of times it is used and to whom it is linked. I.e., it will look similar to this...

I hope you find this information helpful in getting the report you want:-)

Wow, what a great report! Mine came up with 15 pages. If I ever find the time , I can see this as being useful to get all my mm into one folder! Another project...sigh!
