Quick question, how do you select what photo is shown in the Focus Window. I just added a second photo of my grandsons to the media window and can't find a way to make it the photo that appears as the main photo in the Focus Window.1st photo when he was born and 2nd photo when he was two years old and I would rather have the most up to date one showing as the main photo in the Focus Window.

Select the image you want, and then use the up arrow with the star - 'Higher Preference'

You will see them swap positions. If there are more than 2 images, use the Up several times until it is shown as you need it

Thanks Neil,

I never looked at that part as the up arrow was greyed out and the photo I wanted to use was at the top of the list, so no need to move up. I never thought that the up arrow was there to move the photo's left to right at the top of the Focus Window.

Lesson learnt

The default order of the Media in the list on the Media tab is by Date.
What matters for the display order in the Focus Window and Diagrams and Reports is the Preference number.
