Inserting new media object for individual

I need to insert a new media record at position 1 for selected individuals. As I see it, the brute force method would be to 1) save the existing records 2) delete the existing records 3) add the new record 4) re-add the existing records This should get the job done, but Is there a better way? Thanks

Thank you, thank you!

I missed that.

What would I (and all of us) do without you?

Can't create/update repository field in templated source

Where do you put this code? If I put it right after creating the dialog, it makes a narrow window.

Re: Help with IUPMATRIX

I was afraid of that. On the surface, it’s so easy to use. But as soon as you want anything useful, it fails.

Oh well, back to gridbox…

Re: Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem

And on to the next challenge...

I tried to change a series of web links stored in the note for a source record as rich text web links. The plugin did not find them.

Again, could be user error...

Re: Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem

So, I guess I’ll write a little plugin to fix urls in my sources. I imagine that it will get periodic use. Actually, I’ll probably make it generic so I can fix other source fields if necessary. I’ve got a few other things in mind that need cleaning up.

Re: Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem

BTW, when I manipulate the value for source fields in my plugins, I'm pretty sure I use the syntax:

'~' .. <field name>

So, I access the url field using:

~UL-URL

Don't know if that helps...

Take all the time you need. It will be nice to fix the urls, but there’s no deadline. I appreciate your effort.

Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem

I used the plugin to edit URLs to a specific site which changed its format.

URLs in various notes (fact notes, research notes, etc) were updated with no problem.

However, most of my templated sources have a field for URL (of type URL), and these were not touched.

User error?
