Inserting Pictures and Sounds
You can insert a picture, sound or video file in a DSL dictionary entry (card). When you open the entry, the picture, sound or video file will be replaced with an icon. Click the icon to display the picture in a separate window, to listen to the sound or to see the video clip.
Note.
- Multimedia files must be located in the folder of the corresponding dictionary.
- If the image, sound or video files are added when compiling the dictionary, these files need not be located in the folder where the dictionary itself is located.
