Entities - Multimedia Object

Instances of type Multimedia Object can store binary data like images, scanned documents or recordings. A media object can be instantiated once and referenced by several other entities that have some kind of connection to the contained data.

Important Note: This type of entity is modelled in GenJ only to be compatible with the Gedcom standard. It's discouraged to created instances because binary information stored within is actually stored within the Gedcom file (.ged). This can lead to an exorbitantly large file (containing the uuencoded data). Please consider to use the Multimedia Property instead which you can add through Edit View's toolbar. A Multimedia Property is defined with a sub-property (FILE) that can store a filename only instead of the file's content.
