	[[Glossary:Component\|Components]] which use particular registry objects store only registry references, not objects themselves.

This approach makes sure that large objects (e.g. video files) can be reused without wasting disk space. Each time you import an new object with '''[[Component menu#File\|File]] : Import file''' on the [[component menu]], you add it to the appropriate [[Glossary:Registry\|registry]]. Similarly, each time you type a new text to text, spell-pad or sound [[Glossary:Component\|components]], you add it to the text registry.

	By using [[Glossary:Registry\|registries]], SuperMemo minimizes the space used by multimedia files by making sure that each object is stored only once and used by as many [[Glossary:Element\|elements]] as necessary (through the access to the registry via so-called registry links). For example, if you import an image file into an image [[Glossary:Component\|component]] of a given [[Glossary:Element\|element]] (using [[Component menu#~~Import_file~~\|Import file]]), you can later link the same image file with another image component by means of '''[[Component menu#Links\|Links]] : [[Component menu#Registry_member\|Registry member]]'''. By default, the name is the same as the original image filename, but you can change it at import or later on (e.g. with ''Alt+R'' if the image [[Glossary:Component\|component]] is the current component).

Similarly, each time you type a new text to text, spell-pad or sound components, you add it to the text registry.		[[Glossary:Component\|Components]] which use particular registry objects store only registry references, not objects themselves. For example, a sound [[Glossary:Component\|component]] may store a reference to a sound [[Glossary:Registry\|registry]] for its sound file, and to text registry for its text. This approach makes sure that large objects (e.g. video files) can be reused without wasting disk space. Each time you import an new object with '''[[Component menu#File\|File]] : Import file''' on the [[component menu]], you add it to the appropriate [[Glossary:Registry\|registry]]. Similarly, each time you type a new text to text, spell-pad or sound [[Glossary:Component\|components]], you add it to the text registry.

	Each time you link a [[Glossary~~#registry_member~~\|registry member]] with '''[[Component menu#~~Registry_member~~\|Links : Registry member]]''', the reference count of this particular member is incremented. In other words, SuperMemo knows how many components in the collection use that particular member. If you delete the last reference to a particular member, i.e. its reference count drops to zero, the corresponding registry object will be deleted with or without confirmation. For example, if the last component using a given image is deleted, you will be asked if you want that image to be removed from the image registry. However, if the last reference to a given text is deleted from the collection, its corresponding registry member will be deleted without confirmation		Each time you link a [[Glossary:Registry_member\|registry member]] with '''[[Component menu#Links\|Links]] : [[Component menu#Registry_member\|Registry member]]''', the reference count of this particular member is incremented.

	By using registries, SuperMemo minimizes the space used by multimedia files by making sure that each object is stored only once and used by as many elements as necessary (through the access to the registry via so-called registry links). For example, if you import an image file into an image component of a given element (using [[Component menu#Import_file\|Import file]]), you can later link the same image file with another image component by means of '''Links~~ ~~: [[Component menu#Registry_member\|Registry member]]'''. By default, the name is the same as the original image filename, but you can change it at import or later on (e.g. with ''Alt+R'' if the image component is the current component). ~~<br>~~
