    1414<p>Files can be copied into the collection by dragging and dropping.  The mouse pointer becomes a ghost of the selected item (or, if more than one is selected, the number of them).  Drop the selection into the Collection Tree to copy the files there (if the source was the Workspace Tree) or move them around within the collection (if the source was the Collection Tree).</p>
    1515
    16 <p>When copying multiple files, they are all placed in the target folder at the same level, irrespective of the folder structure they occupied originally. When you copy a second file with the same name into the same folder, you are asked whether to overwrite the first one.  Respond "No" and the file will not be copied, but the others will be.  To cancel all remaining copy actions, click the "stop" button.</p>

    r16650 r19338  
    1414<p>This section details how to restrict search indexes to particular languages. You do this by generating a partition using the "Assign Languages" tab of the "Partition Indexes" panel.</p>
    1515
    16 <p>To add a new language partition, use the "Assign Languages" tab to build an index for it.  Select one or more languages from the "Languages to add" list and click "Add Partition".</p>
     16<p>Language partitions use metadata to determine which documents are in the specified languages and therefore should be included in the partition. Greenstone generates "ex.Language" metadata for most documents, and this is the default metadata to use. However, this can be changed by setting "Language Metadata:" to the correct metadata element.</p>

    14 <p>Sometimes things go wrong during collection building. Maybe some files couldn't be processed: the rest of the collection builds fine, and can be previewed, but some documents are absent. Or the whole collection is not built properly, in which case a message says "An error has occurred and the collection could not be created." When this happens, it may be helpful to switch the GLI into expert mode (File-&gt;Preferences-&gt;Mode, see <a href="preferences.htm">Preferences</a>), set the build option "verbosity" to 5, and rebuild, to see if there are any other error messages.</p>

    14 <p>The Greenstone Depositor enables user to add new documents into an existing collection through web interface. This section describes the Depositor Metadata pane, where you can specify which metadata fields should be used to describe the new documents added through Depositor. Any metadata sets that have been associated with the current collection will be available for selection. If there is no other metadata set than the "Greenstone Extracted Metadata Set" associated with the collection, the "Dublin Core Metadata Set" will be used as default. To learn more about the Depositor, see the online tutorial exercise at http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/gsdoc/tutorial/en/depositor.htm. Under the "Format" tab, click "Depositor Metadata".</p>

    14 <p>Metadata database file types, such as MARC, CDS/ISIS, BibTex, Refer and ProCite, can be imported into Greenstone but their metadata cannot be IMMEDIATELY viewed or edited in the Librarian Interface. To see or edit any metadata, you can "explode" the file in the Librarian Interface and view or edit the metadata afterwards. Alternatively, particularly if you are maintaining a master external application, you can go back to the program that created the file, make your corrections, and reimport.</p>

    1616<p>"Exploding" a metadata database file splits it into individual records, with viewable and editable metadata. This process is irreversible: the original metadata file is deleted.</p>
    1717
    18 <p>Explodable files have a green icon in the Collection tree. To explode one, right click it and choose "Explode metadata database". A popup window shows options for the exploding process. The first option ("plugin") specifies the plugin to be used for exploding. In most cases, only one plugin will process a particular type of file, but in some cases, where different file types share the same filename extension, there may be two plugins that both process files with that extension. The "input_encoding" option can be used to specify the encoding of the database. The "metadata_set" option specifies the metadata set to which the new fields generated by exploding should be added. If none is specified, you will be prompted for what to do with each new field in the database: add it as a new element to an existing metadata set, merge with another element, or ignore.</p>

    1919
    2020<p>When a file is exploded, a new empty document is created for each record, and the metadata from the record is assigned to the document. These are named using numbers such as 000001.nul, 000002.nul etc. If the "document_field" option is set (to a database field name), the value of this field, if present, will be used for the filename. The exploding process will also try to download the file and use it instead of an empty file. The "document_prefix" and "document_suffix" options can be used to make a valid URL or file path from the document_field value. The "records_per_folder" option can be used to group exploded records into sub-folders. If the database is very large, using this option will accelerate subsequent metadata editing.</p>

    r12737 r19338  
    1414<p>Greenstone can export the contents and/or metadata of a collection to several standard formats, including METS, DSpace and MARCXML.</p>
    1515
    16 <p>To export one or more collections, open the "File" menu and choose "Export...". You can choose which format to export to by selecting it in the "Export to" drop-down list. Specify a name for the directory where you want to put the exported files&mdash;the files will end up in &lt;path to greenstone&gt;/tmp/exported_xxx, where xxx is the name you specified. Select one or more collections in the list of available collections, then click "Export collection(s)".</p>

    1717
    1818<p>There are other options specific to the various formats. You can specify XSLT files which will be applied to the resulting XML document(s) in order to customize the output format. Exporting to MARCXML uses a mapping file to map Greenstone metadata to MARC fields. The default mapping file maps only Dublin Core metadata. You can specify a custom mapping file to be used instead.</p>

    1616<p>The "Show Files" pull-down menu underneath each tree shows a list of predefined filters, such as "Images".  Choosing this temporarily hides all other files in the tree.  To restore the tree, change the filter back to "All Files".  These operations do not alter the collection, nor do they affect the folders in the tree.</p>
    1717
    18 <p>You can specify a custom filter by typing in a pattern to match files against (Librarian Systems Specialist and Expert modes only). Use standard file system abbreviations such as "*.doc" ("*" matches any characters).</p>

    1616<p>The "Partition Indexes" view has three tabs; "Define Filters", "Assign Partitions" and "Assign Languages".  To learn more about partitions read about sub-collections and sub-indexes in Chapter 2 of the Greenstone Developer's Guide.</p>
    1717
    18 <p>The Partition Indexes screen is only enabled in Library Systems Specialist and Expert modes (see <a href="preferences.htm">Preferences</a>). Note that for MG collections, the total number of partitions generated is a combination of all indexes, sub-collection filters and languages chosen. Two indexes with two sub-collection filters in two languages would yield eight index partitions. For MGPP, all indexes are created in one physical index, so there would only be four index partitions. For Lucene, the number of physical indexes is determined by the number of levels assigned to the collection, one index per level. So for the above situation, one level would result in four physical indexes, while two levels would result in eight.</p>

This will be used for the "creator" and "maintainer" collection metadata items for new collections. The next option is a pull-down list of the languages in which the Librarian Interface can be presented. If you change the dictionary by choosing one from the list, the Librarian Interface must be restarted in order to load the new language strings from the dictionary.</p>

    1818<p>If "View Extracted Metadata" is checked, the various controls dealing with metadata always show all metadata that has been extracted automatically from documents.  De-selecting it hides this metadata (although it is still available during collection design, and within the final Greenstone collection). If "Show file sizes" is checked, the file size is shown next to each file in the Workspace and Collection file trees in the Gather and Enrich views.</p>
    1919
    20 <p>The "Mode" tab 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 process 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.</p>

To the right is the Metadata Table, which shows metadata for any selected files or folders in the Collection Tree.  Columns are named in black at the top, and can be resized by dragging the separating line. If several files or folders are selected, black text indicates that the value is common to all of the selected items, while grey text indicates that it is not. Editing grey values will only affect those documents with that metadata. Any new metadata values entered will be added to all selected items.</p>
