AS Options

Post by ColinMc » 27 Feb 2023 16:43

I use method 1 all the time, and I've found the last line in settings, and the top line in Method 1 settings very confusing. If I take Census settings as an example, then the last (and top) sections are as follows (with my selected entries).

Am I right in thinking that the first entry mightbe better titled

"Census Media Record Title Template"

and the second

"Census Method 1 Source Title Template"

I found this section very confusing as a beginner.

Thanks Colin. Generally I refer to 'Images' rather than 'Media' in AS because Media implies that it could be video or sound and I don't think they really apply (or it would be extremely unusual!) to the source types that AS supports. But I agree it would probably be clearer to rename to Image Record Title Template and Method 1 Source Title Template.

Cheers

Many thanks.

The reason I suggested Media Record, is because that it what it becomes in FH, and the Image does not get titled by this step.
