|

| 64 | There are three "General" options. If "View Extracted Metadata" is checked, the
|
|---|
| 65 | various controls dealing with metadata always show all metadata that has been
|
|---|
| 66 | extracted automatically from documents. Deselecting it hides this metadata
|
|---|
| 67 | (although it is still available during collection design, and within the
|
|---|
| 68 | final Greenstone collection).
|
|---|
| 69 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 70 | If "Show File Size" is checked, the file size is shown next to each file in the Workspace and Collection file trees in the Gather and Enrich views.
|
|---|
| 71 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 72 | The third "General" option is a pull-down list of the various languages that
|
|---|
| 73 | the Librarian Interface can be presented in. These correspond to the
|
|---|
| 74 | dictionaries located in the "classes" folder of the Librarian Interface's
|
|---|
| 75 | directory. If you change the dictionary by choosing one from the list, you must
|
|---|
| 76 | restart the Librarian Interface in order to load the new language strings from
|
|---|
| 77 | the dictionary.
|
|---|
| 78 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 79 | The "Mode" panel is used to control the level of detail within the interface. At its lowest setting, "Library Assistant", the design view is disabled, arguments requiring regular expressions are hidden and the collection building produces a minimal log of events. In contrast the highest setting, "Expert", provides access to all of the features of design, including plugin positioning and regular expression arguments, and also allows the full output from the collection building to be recorded in the logs. To change or review modes, click the radio button next to the mode you are interested in. You can quickly review what mode you are in by looking at the Librarian Interface's title bar.
|
|---|
| 80 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 81 | The Librarian Interface can support different workflows by determining which of
|
|---|
| 82 | the various view tabs are visible. Use the "Workflow" tab to customise what
|
|---|
| 83 | views are available by checking the boxes next to the views that you want to be
|
|---|
| 84 | available. Alternatively, use the pull-down list at the bottom to select
|
|---|
| 85 | predetermined configurations. Closing the preferences dialog establishes these
|
|---|
| 86 | workflow settings. These settings are stored with the collection, not in the
|
|---|
| 87 | Librarian Interface configuration file.
|
|---|
| 88 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 89 | The "Connection" tab lets you alter the path to the locally-running Greenstone
|
|---|
| 90 | library server, which is used when Previewing collections. It also lets you set
|
|---|
| 91 | proxy information for connecting to the Internet (e.g. when Browsing or
|
|---|
| 92 | Mirroring your files; see 3.0 and 4.0 for details). Check the box to enable
|
|---|
| 93 | proxy connection and supply details of the proxy host address and port number.
|
|---|
| 94 | The proxy connection is established when you close the Preferences dialog.
|
|---|
| 95 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 96 | During the course of a session the Librarian Interface may give warning
|
|---|
| 97 | messages which inform you of possibly unforeseen consequences of an action. You
|
|---|
| 98 | can disable the messages by checking the "Do not show this warning again" box.
|
|---|
| 99 | You can re-enable warning messages using the "Warnings" tab. Check the box
|
|---|
| 100 | next to warning messages you want to see again.
