4.2.11. Changing the links to media files

As from ELAN version 2.4, the possibility exists to explicitly change the links to media files that are linked from an *.eaf file. This option can be handy if e.g. you have moved media files to another location after the last time you edited an ELAN file.

Activating the Linked Files dialog (via Edit > Linked files…) will get you the following screen:

Linked files dialog window

Figure 4.16. Linked files dialog window


The following options are available on the Linked Media Files tab:

  • Add… : add a link to a new media file to the current *.eaf file

  • Remove: remove the selected media file

  • Update… : specify a new location of the selected file. Especially useful if the checkbox Status is not marked. The latter indicates the media file could not be found while the ELAN file was opened (e.g. because the media files was moved).

  • Set Master Media: make the selected media file the Master Media

  • Set Extracted from… : indicate that a sound file has been extracted from a video file

  • : moves a file up/down in the linked file list. The file on top automatically becomes the Master Media file. The audio file on the highest location is displayed in the Waveform Viewer.

The Linked Secondary Files tab shows files that are linked as secondary files. In particular files that contain data that to be displayed by the Timeseries viewer (see Section 4.4.12) is found here, but other files may be linked as well. The following options are available:

  • Add… : add a link to a new file to the current *.eaf file

  • Remove: remove the selected file

  • Update… : specify a new location of the selected file. Especially useful if the checkbox Status is not marked. The latter indicates the file could not be found while the ELAN file was opened (e.g. because the media files was moved).

  • Set Associated With... : associate the file with another linked file.
