By checking errors I get this:
REPO R18 has a OBJE link to M2161. This type of link is not allowed here

Since the ability is there to add media at repo – it should either not be an error or be removed at editing/adding repo 🙂

Are you sure? I don’t see it there. Perhaps it will be there if the OBJE existed when the GEDCOM was imported, or if you added it with ‘Edit raw GEDCOM data’

Ah – the one place I forgot to check 🙂 I was thinking of the screen attached.

I’ve checked the GEDCOM specification and it is quite clear that media is not a valid tag within the REPO record.

REPOSITORY_RECORD:=
n @xref:repo@ REPO {1:1}
+1 NAME {1:1} p.54
+1 ADDRESS_STRUCTURE {0:1} p.31
+1 NOTE_STRUCTURE {0:M} p.37
+1 REFN {0:M} p.63, 64
+2 TYPE {0:1} p.64
+1 RIN {0:1} p.43
+1 CHANGE_DATE {0:1} p.31

So I have removed the option to add it. I have also removed the display of any media objects that are already added, so I hope I don’t get too many complaints!

But on the subject of Repositories, I just realised that these are the one record not included on the page “Administration > Add unlinked records”. Do you think adding an unlinked repository should be included?

To be honest – I have no knowledge about any who actually use repo. So unless it is not a big deal to do it – then save it until somebody ask for it (which I doubt)
