Andrew,
Just a warning about your image file naming scheme, if you use (Dick
Rose don't get upset please;-) another genealogy program or your sent
all your information to one of your relatives to add to their copy of BK
the BK#s might be useless. I name my files as such surname given name
event year. You might have to abbreviate the event or date to fit into
the limits of the file system you are working with.
