The Media Information pane provides quick access to additional information (metadata) about the current document or image. The information is directly linked to the information in Concordance Desktop and is stored in the Concordance Desktop Image Base (CIB) file.
The Media Information pane organizes the information into three views.

Description |
|---|---|
Document Information |
Displays numeric, date, and text up to 60 characters and paragraph data truncated to 60 characters from the document's corresponding Concordance Desktop data in the order you specify. |
Image Information |
Displays metadata for the current image-type object displayed in the viewer. TIFF image types display full information. Other image types such as GIF and BMP display only minimal information as these image types do not allow for the storing of descriptive information within the image. |
Markup History |
Displays a complete history, in descending chronological order, of all markup additions, modifications, and deletions that have taken place for the current document. |
The upper section of the Media Information pane displays detailed information about the document for the selected view. The lower section displays a set of buttons for one-click access to the corresponding view. When you click a view button, its contents are displayed in the upper section. The horizontal splitter bar located between the view and the buttons allows you to collapse the buttons into a button tray.
