Step by Step

- If Missing exhibits only is checked, the log will include a list of missing exhibits rather than all exhibits.
- Click the [Verify Exhibit Paths] button.
Usage Notes
When an external exhibit file is not found, Verify Exhibit Paths writes an entry to the log file that indicates there was an error. If you see one of those messages, you should investigate to determine what is wrong. In most cases, the external exhibit file was moved or renamed after it was added as an external exhibit.
You can not use the existence of a thumbnail image in the TMG Exhibit Log as an indication that the path to the file is correct. TMG loads the thumbnail image when you add the exhibit or when you enable the thumbnail option in Preferences. If the path is correct at that time, the thumbnail will be created properly. If the file is later moved or renamed, the thumbnail image is not removed. So, a thumbnail image can appear in the TMG Exhibit Log even though the external exhibit file path is incorrect.
