How can I see if a pic has been collected?

Me again :rolleyes. I'm planning on making extensive use of collected photos in my public facing galleries. There is a clear indication within the Organizer that the virtual copy has been collected. However, when I look at the source gallery, where the real copy lives, there seems to be no indication that a pic has been collected. I find this a little troubling, as it could lead to unexpected results. TBH, I'm not really sure what I'm worried about here. I haven't tried this, but I assume that if I move the source pic to another gallery (with the same permissions) the virtual copy remains untouched. Are there any gotchas that I'm missing? :scratch

To be fair, I move pics around a lot but I rarely delete them altogether from SM (storage is their problem, not mine ). So this isn't likely to ruin my whole day. But I think there's room for improvement, especially in giving a useful warning at deletion time.

Man, you keep comin' at me with the hard (and excellent) questions! As far as I understand, it should be removed from DGrin and the cache issue is causing it to remain for the time being. I'm on a plane tomorrow and out the rest of the week due to some family things, but I'll see if I can get an answer from one of the Engineers.

OK, so the bottom line seems to be that one shouldn't link to virtual copies if you want them to persist. Since you can get to the original from the lightbox, I suppose that's OK, though it is a couple more clicks.
