Multimedia preference problem

Post by TimM » 06 Dec 2014 10:52

I seem to have a problem selecting my preferred photo of an individual when I've got multiple images on the multimedia tab.
Moving an image up to preference 1 doesn't show that one on the diagram. To get the image I want I have to set it to preference 2!
Has anyone had this issue?
My FH version is 5.0.9

Is this happening with all individuals? If so, check your Diagram Options settings. On the Pictures tab of Diagram Options, top left is Preferred picture to display. Is this set to 1st or 2nd?

Even if it is set to 2nd the problem only comes to the fore when there is more than one image to choose from.

If an Individual only has one image, then that 1st image is displayed regardless of the Pictures tab Preference unless it is set to None.

Thanks LornaCraig, you were right, the diagram options was set to 2nd, so problem fixed. I have a vague recollection of seeing that setting and thinking that it defined how many images were to be shown. Now, seeing the list goes up to 10, that might be rather a crowd of images if I thought it was quantity rather than preference!
Thanks LornaCraig & Tatewise for your help.
