I hadn’t noticed it listed them when I logged unreferenced images, thank you this has helped with my problem. I thought I wanted to be able to write pdf files that exist back in to the media library referenced or otherwise.
It is clear that my understanding of the date column in the media library is incorrect as it is not the date uploaded but more a last modified field so doesn’t necessarily reflect the /uploads/year/month structure which is annoying when it comes to using the media replace tool. It would seem I have to hunt for the file name rather then selecting an uploaded date range when looking to multiple updates to pdfs all uploaded at the same time but not necessarily then all updated at the same time
Thanks for getting back to me
