    258258I use GLI to open an existing collection (which I made using buildcol.pl, etc). It gives me a really nice error message with clear instructions on what to do ... start a new collection based on this collection, then import .... Unfortunately when I follow those instructions I get a menu of collections to base my collection on, and the collection I want doesn't appear in that menu! Only a few of my collections appear there, I think just the ones that have been built with GLI.

     463GLI now splits the progress bar on the number of documents in the collection, rather than the number of folders in the collection. This results in more accurate progress measurement.

    16021602Sluggish Interface. Slow Data entry with frequent mouse interruptions. The interface is slow to use as data entry methods need to be streamlined for metadata input. Once an element has been selected it is slow to tab down to the value input bar. Using a mouse frequently during the data input process causes delays to raw input. Inability to enter metadata value with a return key stroke could be addressed.

     1727Image collections need the ImagePlug to be added, but this plugin conflicts with HTMLPlug so is not available by default. Possibly GLI should detect image only collection and automatically add ImagePlug. There are steps being taken to improve image collection support, such as extracted metadata containing thumbnail URL, and a default template value for a 'gallery' type VList

    17431743There is already an UnknownPlug, meant to handle other file types we haven't considered. Ironically enough I don't known much about the UnknownPlug

    17461746To view new mapped network drives requires gatherer prog to be restarted or build of the current collection, no refresh seems possible (F5 has no effect)

    17781778Allow multiple users to work on the same collection at the same time (each user being interested in a different stage of collection building)

    17831783The easiest approach to this problem, which involves issues regarding what files have been loaded into memory, is to allow 'by-module' saving of a collection (which is a step towards our modular goal). What this would mean is that if a user has GLI running with just the gather and enrich views (modules) enabled, then only files from those two modules would be saved. Note that the files for the other modules would be loaded to ensure available data was there for modular interaction - but they wouldn't be saved. Thus a second user could have GLI open with design, and a third with create and preview, and all three would be able to work on the same collection (although it might sometimes get out of sync). A record of what modules where available for read/write and which were read only could be kept in the collections lock file (which is after all another easily extensible xml file).  A more ambitious idea would be to make GLI truely multiuser, by not storing files in memory, and instead providing loocking at an individual file level - although this would be difficult and require major rewrites of several parts of Gatherer.

    17861786Introduce security to GLI

    17911791When Greenstone had no concept of security (besides what was offered by the webserver), it didn't make much sense for GLI to have password protection, but now that Greenstone has logins/passwords at the collection level, GLI should have the same. Simply add a login/pass to the collection xml file, which must be entered before the collection will fully load.
