Hi there, could somebody explain to me whether I’m understanding the functionality of DropBox correctly?
I have about 200GB of newspapers archived (pdf) on my server. I’d like to batch add these to Omeka S, through what I assumed would be the DropBox plugin.
I set the DropBox path to the folder where all of the files are saved but nothing happened.
Insight?
(As an aside, I’d also like to have Omeka read the pdf and make searchable text from it as well).
I want to double-check that you are asking about Omeka S, and not Omeka Classic (aka the 2.x series). Dropbox is a plugin for Omeka Classic, and the corresponding module for Omeka S is File Sideload.
Hmm, that’s unexpected. What versions of Omeka S and FileSideload are you using?
There aren’t current plans for a PDF to text module like we have for Omeka Classic. We’re keeping an eye on the temperature of what Classic plugins people want for Omeka S to determine where to devote resoures.
