replacing picture naming issue
I often rename my picture objects from the default 'pic' to a name that describes the picture.

Hi Laura, I feel your frustration.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you had replaced multiple images in a project with other images from your Media Library, but the file names didn't update in the project timeline. So you ended up with a lot of images that looked correct, but they all showed the same timeline name.
When you later made edits in your media library to the file with that name, ALL the images in your project were changed to the updated image since the program hadn't updated the file names earlier.
I just tested image replacing in an older file which once had the same problem and now it works properly. I'm not sure when they fixed the original problem I described above.
Was your project made more that 5 or 6 months ago? Perhaps before they fixed the issue?
I'm not sure how you could work around your problem at this point other than reimporting importing the images into your project. A 'replacement' of the image should now change the name in the timeline and show the correct image from your Media Library.
Good luck,
Chuck
