Updating an image imported from a Media Management repository

If the original image in the Media Management repository is updated, you can update the local image in the resource set accordingly. You can either update a single image or you can update multiple images, downloaded from one or several Media Management repositories, at the same time.

For each image, Design Center automatically tries to access the image in the Media Management repository in the following way:

1	Using the repository connection currently configured for the Project.

2	Using the repository connection that was used the last time the image was successfully imported or updated.

If both connection attempts fails, you can try to manually restore a connection in the Update all Media Management Repository Resources dialog box. For example, if the Media Management service is moved to another IP address and this IP address is configured for another Media Management connection profile, you can try accessing the image using this other connection profile instead.

To update a single local image

1	In the resource set, right-click the image and select Update From Origin. The Update all Media Management Repository Resources dialog box opens.

2	If the connection to the Media Management repository is broken, click Restore Connection and try another repository connection.

Note:

The Restore Connection button is only available for broken connections.

3	From the Repository version list, select the appropriate version in the Media Management repository.

4	Compare the Repository resource information to the Local resource information. For information about the icons used, see Icons used when accessing a Media Management repository.

5	Click OK. The local image is updated to the selected version.

To update multiple local images in one go

1	Right-click the resource set for your image resources, and select Update all Media Management Repository Resources.

2	In the Update all Media Management Repository Resources dialog box, in the Media Management repository resources list, highlight an image.

3	If the connection to the Media Management repository is broken, click Restore Connection and try another repository connection.

Note:

The Restore Connection button is only available for broken connections.

4	From the Repository version list, select the appropriate version in the Media Management repository.

5	Compare the Repository resource information to the Local resource information. For information about the icons used, see Icons used when accessing a Media Management repository.

6	To update the image, select the check-box for the image.

Note:

Local images that have an older version in the Design Center resource set than in the repository are by default pre-selected.

7	Repeat steps 2 - 6 for the remaining images.

8	Make sure the check-boxes for any images not to be updated are cleared.

9	Click OK. The selected local images are updated to the selected versions.
