Media Database Guide
Uploading images
- Click on the Catalog and Collect link at the bottom of the
home page, and log in with your email username and password. You will
need a Media Database account to do this.
.
- Click on the Auto-upload files link in the menu at the left
of the home page.
- On the screen below, select your username or the name of the person you are working
for. This will assign ownership of the image and place it in your holding area until you are ready to catalog it.
- Choose to retain the original file name, or to allow the script that processes the images to reassign a name based on the date and time.
- Choose to receive email notification for each image file that is processed. This will go to the same owner selected above.
- Choose whether to make the images available outside the Wesleyan domain. By default, images are restricted to Wesleyan and placed in your condor.wesleyan.edu/media/username directories. If you elect to make the image viewable across the Internet, they will be placed in your condor/openmedia directories.
Zip files and batch processing. If you have multiple files which need to be processed, they may be 'zipped' with a file utility such as WinZip, and uploaded as a single file. Be sure that the upload file has a .ZIP extension. Do not include more than 50 files. If you do, it will not work.
Time to process. It generally takes about 10 minutes before the finished files appear in their
respective directories in your condor/media/username.
