In the Multimedia Resources Tab, part of the Edito application, you can 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.
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 well shown in the multimedia resource tree.

Modify Resources Tab
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.
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 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 in the Concepts Tab.
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.
Add Resources Tab
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
- The optional list of concepts associations.
- Multimedia resources
- This list determine if the new file is a new multimedia resource (New option) or a part of the translation of an existing multimedia resource into another.
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.
Note that the multimedia resources shown in the list of the edition panel depend on the language that you have chosen for the file. Furthermore, you cannot add more than one file of the same language to one particular multimedia resource.
Add Batch Tab
In this tab, you can add many multimedia resources to the database at the same time.
Like in the previous case, you have to select the source directory which contains the multimedia files. To select the desired files individually, press CTRL key and left-click on the mouse. To select a range of consecutive files, press Shift and left-click. When you have selected all the desired files, go to the panel on the right and choose the options that will be used by the batch process:
- Language
- The language in which the resource can be used.
- Concepts
- By checking this checkbox, a new concept will be created for each multimedia file (if it doesn't exist). Each new concept will be named after its multimedia file. In addition, each new multimedia resource will be associated with the corresponding concept.
- Relations
- If you check this checkbox, the default relations "begins with", "contains" and "ends with" will be created when the concept is saved. That will only happen if the Concepts checkbox is also checked.
The last remaining step is pressing the Add button. As a result, the batch of multimedia resources is added to the database.
Observe that this method cannot be used to add translation files to current multimedia resources. That task can only be done in the Add Resources tab.
