To access the panel that allows the management of the multimedia resources that will be used in PATIO, you have to press the Multimedia resources button located at the Importer/Exporter panel.

This panel is divided into tabs that allow you to create, modify or delete multimedia resources. Besides, resources can be associated with concepts or you can even add new files of different languages to an existing multimedia resource. Finally, there is another important feature that allows you to import/export packages of multimedia resources so you can export a package from a database and import it to another one and vice versa.

Note that multimedia resources must have a description in the same language as the user interface, or in the neutral language, in order to be correctly displayed in the multimedia resource tree.

Modify Resources

This tab contains the multimedia resource tree on the left; the resources list showing the resources filtered by the current selection, in the central zone; and the details of the chosen file, in the panel on the right.

Note that you can change the preview size and the order of the multimedia resources in the central list using the controls at the top of the central panel.

Cada fichero consta de los siguientes campos:

Each file has the following fields:

File
The name of the multimedia file.
Type
The type of the multimedia resource.
Language
The language in which the resource can be used.
Image
The image that represents the multimedia resource.
Associations
The list of concepts that this resource represents.


Modify Resources Tab


Modify a multimedia resource

To modify an existing multimedia resource, you have to select it from the resources list, make the desired modifications and finally press the Save button to confirm changes.

Note that each multimedia resource can be associated with several files (one for each language) in order to provide specific representations for all the available languages.

Finally, you have to keep in mind that if you add a concept to the Association List, you will get the same results as by dragging the multimedia resource over the Concepts - Resources Panel (view Concepts section).


Delete a multimedia resource

In order to delete a multimedia resource, you have to select it from the resources list and press the Delete button. Then, you have to confirm the deletion in the security dialogue that will appear on the screen.

In this tab, you can add multimedia resources to the database one by one.

First, you have to select the source directory where the multimedia files are. To do it, use the button with the folder icon or write the complete path in the text field which is located next to the button. When the multimedia files appear you can select one of them and add it to the database. Before ending this operation, you have to complete the following resource fields:

Type
The type of the multimedia resource.
Language
The language in which the resource can be used.
Associations

This list determines if the new file is a new multimedia resource (New option) or a part of the translation of an existing multimedia resource into another language.


To confirm the addition of a new resource (or the translation into the selected language), you have to press the Add button at the bottom of the panel.
