→Connecting to the example Media Objects
The media path can be reset now or if starting to experiment with images.
* (1) In {{man menu|Edit > Preferences}}, change the {{man label|Base media path:}} in the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Family_Tree|{{man label|Family Tree}}]] tab in the {{man label|Family Tree's Media path}} section. This could be in a new directory, to keep it separate to your own family tree media. (<abbr title="exempli gratia - Latin phrase meaning 'for example'">e.g.</abbr> On Linux <code>~/gramps/example/</code>)
** For Gramps 5.1.x and earlier the setting is found in {{man menu|Edit > Preferences}}, change the {{man label|Base path for relative media paths:}} in the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#General|{{man label|General}}]] tab.
* Copy the media files from the example directory (that you found in step 1, above) to this media path directory.
