I took a copy of my tree to my Mother's to work on as I had Genopro downloaded on her computer. Naturally I didn't export all the pictures that I had, I just worked on my tree. Then when it came to bringing the updated version back to my computer to update, I am now not sure what to do. If I just copy over my original version with the new work, will it save it 'without' the original pictures effectively erasing the original version's photos?

The pictures will still be in your family tree, but they won't be visible since the actual files won't be found.  If you copy your .gno file, and later copy the pictures (.jpg), then you will have all of it.  Eventually we will write a tool to perform backups with pictures.

Is this a result of GenoPro deleting Stray Objects when saving a file? If so could there be an option to turn this off? To be effective I suppose this would have to be an attribute attached to a particular file, possibly with a warning message.

When you start to think about it, it is not so easy.

Not at all.  GenoPro deletes unused object having no references anywhere. A picture without its image is still a valid picture, as it may include other information such as a description.

So if you take a file away, edit it, rename it and put it back in the same directory as the original file it will carry on as the main file, complete with pictures
