* Images attached to Events

[g_mcallister]

I liked the idea of being able to attach an image to an event and this was one of the reasons I upgraded to Version 4. Maybe I was expecting too much but it doesn't seem to do anything very useful for me.
First of all, if I attach an image to an event the image does not show on the multimedia tab of the Properties Box for the individual. Yes, it is on the 'All' tab if I drill down through the detail and I can view Multimedia for the selected individual via the toolbar button but is not the Multimedia tab of the Properties Box the obvious place to see all images linked to an individual? Have I missed some setting?
But mainly I am disappointed because images connected to events are not treated any differently in reports to images simply linked to the individual. They all appear together at the top of the report. I had somehow imagined they might appear alongside the event or at least be linked/connected in some way.
So I see no advantage in linking images to an event. It would be better to just link them direcly to the individual then they would at least appear on the Multimedia Tab. A caption is needed anyway to give the context.
Is it just me who is disappointed with this new feature?

I tend to view the event linked images via the media window for the individual, rather than the limited space on the Property box.

As I always attached images to Events the improvements in V4 did help me.
