 because it's a way it works ;-)

 you have two ways to know the content of a tape, "media contents" and
"images on media":

 Media contents: - reads directly from the tape
                 - bpmedialist -mcontents -ev media_id ...

 Image on media: - take input from master DB
                 - bpimmedia -mediaid <media id> ...

 both are available in the Reports GUI.

 more on that?

    in the Motif and Java Graphical User Interfaces."
