Ver 6.2 Source Pane - Opening media in Editor/Player

Post by philmcleod » 18 May 2016 16:46

In the source pane, with the revised options to open media in Editor/Player, the list of media for a source only shows the first 13. Whilst this is normally a reasonable number I have a few instances where I have lots of documents that are linked to a particular source. Can the list available be extended or is it a case of reverting to viewing media via the Workspace Media Window

I cannot run FH 6.2 just now, but can the window not be enlarged or is there a scroll bar to show more entries.

If there is definitely no way, then report it to Calico Pie as a bug.

I have now run FH V6.2 and realise you are talking about the cog menu option, which does have a restricted list, but you can use the Show Media button next to it to list all the Media, and use the View... button, or right-click any Media item, and choose Open in Editor/Player there, which seems to be a reasonable alternative in the rare cases when there are more than 13 Media items.
