Property Box

Fact Media Dialog

The Fact Media dialog is opened by clicking on the Show Media button  on the toolbar of the Facts tab of the Property Box.  It shows all media for the currently selected fact.  For example, it might show all pictures taken at a christening.  It is a modeless dialog which means that you do not have to close it.  You can change the selected fact in the Facts tab, and the dialog will automatically update itself appropriately.  The same dialog can also be used to show media linked to a given source citation, listed in the Source pane of the Property Box.
