I know #417 asks for a source on multimedia, but it's also asking to put a PLACE on multimedia as well. To me, that is two different wish list items, as one is GEDCOM-compliant, and the other is not. I would like to see either #417 be split into two items or add another wish list item specifically for putting Source Citations on Multimedia.
Attaching a SOURCE citation to an OBJ (multimedia item) is already allowed in GEDCOM, and since Family Historian is supposed to be GEDCOM-based, I do not understand why it's not already allowed in FH (I know you can do this in a rather round-about way by adding a 'linked note' to the OBJ and then add a citation to the linked note, but that's actually citing the 'note', not the image). This exclusion of the spec has bugged me since 2006, as I'd like to be able to source my photos correctly. See http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ ... DIA_RECORD for the GEDCOM standard on Multimedia records... the fourth item is Source Citation.
Please consider adding this item to the wish list, as I don't want to have it dismissed because it's attached to another wish list item which may or may not be able to be implemented.
Thanks,
