Linking multimedia to sub-tags

Post by Davo » 28 Jul 2004 12:06

I know that you can currently link multimedia entries to sub-tags, eg link a photograph of the family shop to a person's occupation, or a photograph of a school to a person's education. But, there seems no easy way to get at these photos - they do not show up in the multimedia list for that person, and there is no way (that I can see) to get them to appear on the report.

How about adding them to the multimedia view / Properties:Objects dialog but with the name of the tag above them, eg:

(imagine this is the top box of the multimedia view)
Multimedia Records
+ Pic1
+ Pic2
- Occupation : shopkeeper
 + Family shop
 + Inside family shop
- Education: secondary school
 + whole school photo
 + main building
 + in the classroom

You're right that up to now we haven't done anything with these links.  And I think you're also right that it would be good if we did.  I have logged your suggestions in any case and will think about them further.

How about adding this to the FHUG Wish List?
