ID#	203B085
Description	If metadata with more than one word in its name is added, for instance inis.publication year, a file fail.txt is created in C:\program files\gsdl\collect\inis15\etc., if you try to contruct a hierarchy based on this metadata. No problem occurs if one assign the metadata name in this way: inis.publication_year
Reported By	CAC Information Center (CACCI)
Platform	Win2000
Test Item#	4d3 & 4d4
Status	Pending
Solution	Similar problem to 203B006 - Search and browse on dc.Subject fail, however here solution is to restrict metadata element names to non-whitespace strings
ID#	203B086
Description	If a tilde is included in the metadata name, by instance: Título, an error occurs, and the collection is not built. See Annex III for the error msg. The same happens if a tilde is included in the metadata value. By instance Una excursión por la Patagonia as a value in: inis.title

Description	In Win 2000, if a screen saver is installed, the Gatherer is closed
Reported By	CAC Information Center (CACCI)
Platform	Win2000
Test Item#	6
Status	Pending
Solution	Caused by clash between DirectX drivers, the computer's 3D Graphics card and any java graphical application. Try adding this -D command to the line at end of the gli.bat/gli.sh file like so: java -Dsun.java2d.nodraw=true -cp classes/;GLI.jar;lib/apache.jar;lib/calpa.jar;lib/jp.jar. Should perhaps have a GLI 'safe-mode' launcher?

Platform	Linux, WinME, Win2000
Test Item#	6
Status	Pending
Solution	Ensure that only valid options are available in the right click menu
ID#	203B099
Description	Design: When a hierarchy classifier has been added, a metadata is selected by default, with its corresponding .txt of classification. If this metadata is changed, the file does not change accordingly. This can be confusing and may require a brief explanation
Reported By	CAC Information Center (CACCI)
Platform	Linux, WinME, Win2000
Test Item#	6
Status	Pending
Solution	Filename should change accordingly. Fix
ID#	203B100

ID#	203B108
Description	The local library server doesn't open minimized, and then GLI complains about it not responding
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	Win*
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	Due to gsdlsite.cfg file not existing yet (server.exe must be run at least once). GLI script should check that the gsdlsite.cfg file exists before starting.

ID#	203B166
Description	Double clicking on a file for which there is no file association does nothing.
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA

Solution	Was disabled on purpose. Re-enable
ID#	203B178
Description	Enrich View. Select uncommon metadata, no append available
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	Whether append enabled determined by whether value is already selected (which in this cause it is so append disabled). Have to ensure that this only applies to common metadata
ID#	203B179
Description	Hierarchy metadata -> still ignoring '\' -> have to type '\\' to get path
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA

ID#	203B182
Description	Edit Metadata screwy
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	The Metadata Set Editor is due for a complete overhaul.
ID#	203B184
Description	Another little thing -- the Import profiles, when you see them on the Edit submenu of the Metadata Sets menu, are expressed as full filenames e.g. /Users/ihw/gsdl/collect/dls. This means that they are invisible until you learn how to horizontally scroll that window (which, believe it or not, wasn't obvious to me at first). Could you suppress the $gsdlhome/collect prefix so that this would just appear as "dls"? In the unlikely event that they did not reside in $gsdlhome/collect, then put the fully qualified pathname.
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	OK
ID#	203B185
Description	If you show file sizes you can sometimes get sizes of 8.0 bytes - no decimal places for bytes
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	Well I though it was quite clever that I got the file size formatting working at all, but I'll fix this
ID#	203B187
Description	Allow users to place fonts in 'font' folder and have them loaded
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	You can easily read in truetype fonts using System.getResourceAsStream(), then create a font from it by Font.createFont(). The problem is making these font available for a certain component, either by the users choice (which could be a slow process), or by using methods such as Font.canDisplayUpTo() to determine if the font can display the characters currently shown in the component.
ID#	203B188
Description	Running Gatherer requires Java to be installed. Only passing reference is made on the home page, and it is not particularly easy to find and download the java runtime package, especially on a slow dialup link. It might help to: a) a link to the right java package could be included on the Gatherer web page; b) common java dustributions (windows, linux) could be included on the CD
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2K
Test Item#	2.4
Status	Pending
Solution	Provision has been made to include the JRE for Windows on the final release CD. JRE for Linux is tricky as runtime more platform dependant - perhaps include the most common linux JRE, or perhaps one for each major platform (Redhat, Slackware, Mandrake et al). Update Gatherer homepage with further "How to get started" information
ID#	203B189
Description	Installation of Java requires Windows Service Pack 2. No mention of this is made.
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2K
Test Item#	2.4
Status	Pending
Solution	Unfortunately we can't redistribute the Microsoft Service Packs - no matter how much we'd like to - so the best we can do is include a link in the "How to get started" section.
ID#	203B192
Description	On another attempt, building a test collection from scratch on the second XP machine resulted in Notepad twice popping up on the file: title_icon-1.2.pl
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	WinXP
Test Item#	3.1
Status	Pending
Solution	I'm fairly sure this file is from GIMP, so why its caused problems on a WinXP machine is beyond me. Again I'm going to hope its related to the graphical glitch noted in 203B093 & 203B192, caused by a conflict between the JVM's use of DirectX and the current graphics card.
ID#	203B194
Description	Mandrake Gli installation appears to work, but running Gatherer results in the following java error (even though java is installed by default on Mandrake): <br> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: classes/:GLI/jar:lib/apache/jar:lib/calpa/jar:lib/jp/jar:lib/polloxml/jar:lib/qfslib/jar:lib/skinlf/jar:lib/nanoxml/jar <br> at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:native) <br> at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:59)
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Linux (Mandrake)
Test Item#	2.5
Status	Pending
Solution	It appears from the error message generated that the classpath has been read as one giant string rather then folders separated by the : character. Not knowing Mandrake I can only assume that a different character should be used to have the script parsed correctly. Investigate the shell used.
ID#	203B196
Description	Once Gatherer was installed correctly on Slackware and RedHat it appears to need to run as root?
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Linux (Slackware, RedHat)
Test Item#	2.5
Status	Pending
Solution	May be caused by incorrect permission on scripts.
ID#	203B198
Description	Symbolic links can cause infinite file system trees. Only a problem during copying
Reported By	NZDL
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	Prevent same folder (by canonical path) from being copied twice in a single copy action
ID#	203B204
Description	File locking issue only reported at end of process, this can waste time on large builds. <br>"Exception detected during collection install. Most likely caused by windows or local library holding locks on files: e.g: Index file C:\progra=1\gsdl\collect\spmet2k\index\text cannot be removed."<BR>Pressing OK results in: "The collection has been built and is ready for previewing". But the file is not visible on the list. 2nd attempt identical. Action=restart library interface. message=lock file detected suggests collection already open. (note collection is locked, not the files added to the build).<br>The file locking issue appears be a problem when the library gets large and the compiling / building takes longer, the error is reported at the end of this long process.
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2k, WinXP
Test Item#	4a.5
Status	Pending
Solution	Side-effect of bigger problem, although a pre-build test is a good idea. Problem caused by Windows holding a lock over a file it think is open. This file may be open in the local library server is used, but should have been released. Perhaps GLI not waiting until collection properly released, or perhaps suggestion is right that build process returns when it hasn't quite finished.
ID#	203B205
Description	Hovering over Mode option delivers no further information = empty info box
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2k, WinXP
Test Item#	4*.5
Status	Pending
Solution	Check description for Mode argument in buildcol.pl
ID#	203B206
Description	Often replies no connection to server - but works well with collection based on one of the existing demo formats
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2k, WinXP
Test Item#	4a.5
Status	Pending
Solution	Related to 203B204 - Error when installing collection. Since only some files are copied (until a locked one is detected) the collection is put into an inconsistant state
ID#	203B208
Description	Export metadata set - not functioning (greyed out)
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2k, WinXP
Test Item#	4b.3
Status	Pending
Solution	Unsure of why this happened. Investigate
ID#	203B210
Description	Once arguments are added to plugin, can't delete them easily. (under Design-plugins-configure selected plugin) - Doesn't delete if completely deleted, only if replaced by a space/other character
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2k, WinXP
Test Item#	4b.4
Status	Pending
Solution	Suggested practice is to disable the argument, rather than set its value to blank. Clarify in online help
ID#	203B215
Description	PDF files - metadata does not accompany the file name in the a-z list, file location is the only information about the file, searching for the pdf filename (if file name is not contained within the document) results in 0 doc finds
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	Win2k, WinXP
Test Item#	4c.6
Status	Pending
Solution	I believe this is a PDFPlugIn problem, but will investigate
ID#	203B216
Description	Creating a database of only image (jpg) files is not easy - they do not appear on file list, are not searchable and no error message. Metadata on the image files do not respond to browse/search. Image files seem to only be viewable via a html file that points to the image
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	All
Test Item#	6
Status	Pending
Solution	Image 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
ID#	203B220
Description	Each time Gatherer is started, it needs to restart GDSL, even though it is running. Could this be eliminated?
Reported By	Mike Jensen
Platform	All
Test Item#	6
Status	Pending
Solution	Bug - probably caused by GLI being started before GSDL has been run once. Normally GLI would detect already running GSDL
ID#	203B226
Description	Problem with graphical interface prevents collection building
Reported By	UNESCO Kazakhstan
Platform	Linux
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	Problem description was "Build button does not work". Perhaps the Build button was not being enabled correctly?
ID#	203B227
Description	Problem with Kazakh language encoding when Previewing a built collection
Reported By	UNESCO Kazakhstan
Platform	Win98
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	Most likely due to limitations of current HTML renderer (see also 203B061 and 203B101). Other HTML renderers are being investigated. Also, a button will be added to the Preview pane which lets you view the page in your chosen web browser.
ID#	203B229

Description	I 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.

ID#	203F201
Description	Sluggish 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.
Reported By	Mike Jensen

Description	Allow multiple users to work on the same collection at the same time (each user being interested in a different stage of collection building)
Reported By	SEDICI-UNLP
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	The 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.

Description	Introduce security to GLI
Reported By	SEDICI-UNLP
Platform	All
Test Item#	NA
Status	Pending
Solution	When 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.

If seperate webserver is used, then GLI can't really autodetect where it is (not without a ip/port scanner, which is probably illegal ;p), however the field on the 'Missing Library Server' window has been improved to help users enter a valid server path (whereas before they could enter anything they liked). The help for this dialog was also misleading as to what had to be typed in to make it work properly - this has been addressed.
