Preview images

[Paul Parkyn]

Hello I am running version 2.08 with Fedora core4 and I would like to
know if Photo files can be displayed. When I edit the Media files I have
corrected the path but do not get a preview of the photo. I have run the
database repair option and corrected the errors.

TIA
Paul

The image files should be displayed. If you add a new image
to the Media View, is the tumbnail not displayed in the
preview frame?

Alex,
 No, if I add a new image the thumbnail is displayed.
The problem I have is that I have created a new database and then imported a
gedcom file which had a lot of photo files references. I was just trying to
find a way to edit the type attribute in the media window from unknown to
image/jpeg.
Trying to avoid deleteing & re entering all the media information.

Thanks
Paul

I see. IN that case you may want to delete all the files
in your ~/.gramps/thumb/ directory. This way thumbnails
should be regenerated on demand, i.e. when you select a row
in the Media View.

Let me know if this does not help,
Alex

Alex,

Their were only the three thumbs that I had added after trying many times to
access the photo´s in the media window. It looks as though I will have to do
it manually, not such a big job really.
Just asked the question to find if there was an easy way to do it.

Thanks again for your time.
Regards Paul
