Has anyone else found this.
Creating new links to individuals to an existing photo creates another instance of the photo in the linked to individuals all media view?

I think you are doing it the wrong way.

Please look at
http://www.fhug.org.uk/flash/fhmedia.html

although it was done for V3 it shows the way to add multiple people to a single media record.

Alternatively, if you are using the Individual Property Box and selecting the Multimedia tab Add Media button, then use Link to Existing Multimedia Record instead of Insert From File.

You have to use this last command for the first Individual, but after that you can link to the existing record to add the Link to Face frames.
