Is there an easy way to attach media to features and states (like creating an xml file for entity media)? Or do I just upload the features list and then manually attach each media item and type in caption, copyright and comments for each one?

Thanks!

Hi Cory,

At this very moment no. You will need to attach the media items one at a time. However, we've just finalised an XML import format for this purpose (We've had several requests for this recently). The import feature will be under development within the Builder in the next month or two. It should then be available in the next update. We also may include a simpler media import approach for users who are not familiar with XML or can't generate it easily. Basically if a key author uses a file naming convention the Lucid Builder will try and match media items to Features/States and Entities labels and generate an import list. The author can then review this list, modify it if necessary, and then perform a media import. If yourself or anyone else has ideas in this area I'd be happy to hear from them.

Cheers,

Matt.

Is there any progress on this? It doesn't seem to be available in V 3.5.2 06252010.

Hi Mike,

Yes, that functionality has now been completed and tested. It will now appear on the 3.6 branch. We will be making early beta editions of v3.6 available to current maintenance holders over the next couple of weeks.

Cheers,

Matt.

Hi Matt. About importing media: we've prepared about 130 folders on an external drive, each containing a bunch of jpgs to illustrate a particular entity. The folder names match some of the entity names in our project's key (all of the folder names match an entity, but some entities don't have a matching folder). Is there a quick way we can add the whole lot to the key at one go (so the contents of each and every folder attaches to the entity with a matching name), or do we need to open each folder, select all it's contents and import to the relevent entity using Attach File? Would a Media List help? Fraid I don't know anything about Media Files, or XML, so am not able to the follow the manual (sorry!). Thanks, Sue.
