We have written a Windows program for summarizing the "Scrapbook" media report from Legacy 10.
The program is used in conjunction with the Legacy Scrapbook media report so that it can be used as a report of all the media being used in Legacy without the
verboseness.
Further details can be found here.
Both Legacy version 10 and our program are 100% free.
