When opening a repository (by clicking on the *Open* button) you're immediately prompted with
|
|
the tab selection. Because our newly created repository is still empty, we need to select the
|
|
*Import* tab first by clicking on *Import*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will change the tab type to *Import* and provides us with options regarding imports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Import type (1) currently only supports Filesystem imports but will allow for a broader
|
|
import source selection in the future.
|
|
|
|
For filesystem imports we can select the type of selection we want to make (2) which can either
|
|
be a folder multiselection or file multiselection. As file selection allow for a finer control over imported
|
|
media types you can keep the default selection. Next there's a file selection element (3)
|
|
(or folder selection if you selected the type *Folder*) where you can open a file selection
|
|
dialog by clicking on the file icon. After selection it will show the number of files found below.
|
|
|
|
The first checkmark (4) gives you the option to also import tags from adjacent txt files. A txt file
|
|
is considered relevant to a file if it's named like the file with the addition of the `.txt` extension.
|
|
If your file is named `myImage.png` a tag file named `myImage.png.txt` is used to assign tags when checked.
|
|
|
|
The second checkmark (5) enables deletion of imported files from the original location after import.
|
|
Files that failed to import will not be deleted.
|
|
|
|
When you're satisfied with your selection of files and import configuration you can click on *Import* (6) to
|
|
import all files into the repository.
|
|
|
|
After importing your files will show up in a grid view next to the import options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Files that are imported for the first time will have the status *New*. If there were any files that already
|
|
existed in the repository those will still show up but their status might differ depending on their saved
|
|
status in the repository.
|
|
The next step would be to assign tags to those files. |
