Adding Media Files
You can add sound, image, and movie files to your forms. Image files include images
from the web or other applications.
To add a media file:
1 Click in the media field.
2 Drag a media file from the Finder or iPhoto to the media field or click to choose a
file.
You can’t drag a file from iTunes to the media field.
When you add a media file, Bento copies it into the bento.bentodb file.
If you don’t want to copy the media file into Bento, hold down the Option key while
you drag the media file to the media field. Bento creates an alias that contains a path
to a specific file in a specific location on your hard drive. If you use an alias for the
media file, and then move or rename the original media file, the alias to it is broken.
