- People recovering old Photo Story or Movie Maker projects
- Worth noticing
- For .wlmp projects, it searches a selected folder and its subfolders, matching missing media by filename rather than old drive path.
Field notes
A .wp3 file is described as holding copies of its photos and recorded audio, so recovery can work even if the original photos are gone. A .wlmp file instead points to media on the old computer; users select its new location, and the tool searches folders by filename. The rebuild retains many timings, captions, audio tracks, and motion effects, but the page says some transitions and picture effects are approximations.
