html stripped in legacy, now missing a photo on my site?

I had a photo embedded in a gallery description html. Turns out it's the only gallery whose html was fully stripped in legacy, and where I hadn't made a backup. I've roamed every gallery I can trying to visually spot it, without success.

Does anyone have a trick or two to locate a missing photograph?

    If it was referenced with HTML in the gallery description you will need to browse through your galleries to find it. Did you use an unlisted gallery to hold the photos you showed using HTML? If you used that technique it should be easy to find (assuming you used the same gallery for all photos displayed in this way). If not, start browsing...

    I have already browsed. :cry.
    It's very odd not to find it. :cry

    There wouldn't happen to be a tool to list every photo url with tag ID?
    Now that would be a great backup tool. (Maybe not for sites with hundreds of thousands of images.)

    I will browse again. :cry

    Did you check the page source? Perhaps it shows in the description html there but doesn't display on the page.

    Good thought Allen, I had no idea one might find that that way.
    It turned out it was a PDF iframe, so I assume that's why it really broke.
    I retrieved the PDF and pulled snapshots of it and uploaded them as photos for blocks. That took care of it.

    Years ago we could upload a pdf and Smug would turn the 1st page into a jpg.

    A clickable jpg that would let one download the file? Or it just let a person see the image as a photo.

    I have a few galleries where I need to let the public download a PDF.
    Scribd was my choice but sometime recently they added rules about having to go to their site to get the file. :nono
    Google docs is, um, sucky. :smack

    So I finally found this simple site:
    http://freepdfhosting.com/
    which has proved most simple.
    Right click link, download.
