| 13 | Files can be copied into the collection by dragging and dropping. The mouse
|
|---|
| 14 | pointer becomes a ghost of the selected item (or, if more than one is selected,
|
|---|
| 15 | the number of them). Drop the selection into the Collection Tree to copy the
|
|---|
| 16 | files there (if the source was the Workspace Tree) or move them around within
|
|---|
| 17 | the collection (if the source was the Collection Tree).
|
|---|
| 18 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 19 | When copying multiple files, they are all placed in the target folder at the
|
|---|
| 20 | same level, irrespective of the folder structure they occupied originally.
|
|---|
| 21 | When you copy a second file with the same name into the same folder, you are
|
|---|
| 22 | asked whether to overwrite the first one. Respond "No" and the file will not be
|
|---|
| 23 | copied, but the others will be. To cancel all remaining copy actions, click the
|
|---|
| 24 | "stop" button.
|
|---|
| 25 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 26 | Only the "highest" items in a selection are moved. A folder is higher than its
|
|---|
| 27 | children. You cannot select files within a folder and also the folder itself.
|
|---|
| 28 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 29 | When you add a file, the Librarian Interface searches through the source
|
|---|
| 30 | folders for auxiliary files containing metadata previously assigned to the
|
|---|
| 31 | added file and, if it finds one, begins to import this metadata. As the
|
|---|
| 32 | operation proceeds, you may be prompted (perhaps several times) for extra
|
|---|
| 33 | information to match the imported metadata to the metadata sets in your
|
|---|
| 34 | collection. This process involves many different prompts, described in the <a href="importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata.htm#importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata">Importing Previously Assigned Metadata</a> section. For a more detailed
|
|---|
| 35 | explanation of associating metadata with files read Chapter 2 of the Greenstone
|
|---|
| 36 | Developer's Guide -- Getting the most out of your documents.
