Does Specify manage image and sound data?
Specify allows you to keep attribute data about images and sound recordings such as the number, type, content, date, collector/photographer, etc. in appropriate data fields and also allows Internet and file system URLs to be stored in fields. When clicked, Specify opens the default windows player application for that file type, typically an image viewer, web browser or audio player. In that way, one can maintain links to associated binary data files, such as images, and access them through records in Specify. The demonstration Specify database shipped in the Specify 5.2.3 installation package, “Fishdemo” has several examples of image files linked to collection object (specimen) records.
