===<u>Media Manager</u>===
{{stub}}
The {{man label|Gramps Media Manager}} is a group of four separate tools accessed via a wizard like dialog that you can access via the menu {{man menu|Tools->Utilities->Media Manager...}} which will show the first '''Introduction''' dialog page with the following information on the tools abilities.
====Replace substrings in the path====
{{stub}}
This tool allows replacing specified substring in the path of media objects with another substring. This can be useful when you move your media files from one directory to another.
====Convert paths from relative to absolute====

{{-}}
====Convert paths from absolute to relative====
{{stub}}
This tool allows converting absolute media paths to a relative path. The relative path is relative viz-a-viz the base path as given in the Preferences, or if that is not set, user's directory. A relative path allows to tie the file location to a base path that can change to your needs.
{{-}}
====Add images not included in database====
{{stub}}
Check directories for images not included in database, this tool adds images in directories that are referenced by existing images in the database. You will have to import one media item from each sub directory manually. Media Manager does not include sub-directories automatically. All the directory paths shown in the tool will be searched through.
