2.5. Resources

This screen contains information about the resources belonging to the session. All the information that is entered into the Resources screen will be displayed in the IMDI Browser in the following way (see the IMDI Browser manual for details):

Resources displayed in the IMDI browser

Figure 2.30. Resources displayed in the IMDI browser

Information on the screen Resources is displayed under the resource nodes

  1. Anonymous (see Section 2.5.1).

  2. Media Files (see Section 2.5.2).

  3. Written Resources (see Section 2.5.3).

  4. Sources (see Section 2.5.4).


The IMDI Editor automatically assigns a unique resource identifier to each media file and written resource. The resource identifiers are then used on the sub-screen Resource References to link a source (see Section 2.5.4.3), an actor (see Section 2.4.1.3) or a language (see Section 2.3.3.1) to a specific resource. E.g., it may be the case that an actor only plays a role in one of the resources, but not in the others – in this case, you can use the resource identifiers to link the actor to this one resource, but not to the others.

Click on the button Links at the top of the Content panel to view all links, e.g.:

If you remove a resource, the specified links are automatically removed as well.
