Max size for CSV metadata import?

Hi all,I have been attempting to upload the City of Milwaukee’s largest accession yet in terms of number of files (over 6,000). I ran Directory Printer on the records in order to associate base metadata (format, collection identifiers, dates, etc.) on the records, copied into the CSV template, and attempted to upload using the usual bulk metadata upload process. This… did not go well, to the tune of “hung for half an hour and then kicked me out without uploading”.I have confirmed that I am able to upload the files WITHOUT the metadata files in a relatively expedited manner. I have also confirmed using a subset of the files that I have the template formatted correctly to perform the upload. So what I assume is happening is that the parser is going through the spreadsheet and mapping to the files in the upload package… which is a process that takes an extra-long time with 6000+ files.So I put it to the community: Have any of you discovered a soft cap on the number of files you can import

Metadata file will not loat

I get a message saying the metadata file can’t be loaded because it is not in CSV format. Mine is saved as CSV in Microsoft. I used the template provided. What am I doing wrong?

Problem Ingesting Folder with Metadata - I click “I understand, continue the ingest” but nothing happens

Sort of self explanatory. I’ve gotten to the stage where the alert comes up to say “There are files or folders in the following CSV metadata without associated file or folder names, no metadata will be mapped to those rows...” and when I click “I understand, continue the ingest” it brings me back to the main page but nothing happens and I still have the “Complete Ingest” option in the taskbar. Any assistance would be great!

Change default display options in explorer?

I’m adding metadata for a bunch of files in Preservica Starter. After I navigate to the folder with the files in Explorer, I set it to sort A to Z and show 50 assets per page. However, it keeps resetting to the defaults and I have to sort it again every time the page reloads. Is there a way to tell it to sort A to Z with 50 assets per page by default?Thanks!

Exporting AIPS - XIP access

I’m trying out the starter edition, and I can see some preservation/technical metadata in the main GUI. Does any edition of Preservica have an ‘AIP Export’ option, or perhaps just exporting this technical/preservation metadata in some form? I’ve seen bits and pieces in the community hub about XIP and XSL transforms to METS and PREMIS, but this doesn’t seem to be available to starer edition users? I’m mostly interested in seeing what kinds of information is exportable from Preservica. Best, Kieran O’LearyNational Library of Ireland

Cannot Upload Folder

I am having an unusual issue: I am not able to upload a folder.I can select upload folder, choose a folder, and confirm that I want to upload a folder. But once I go through all of that nothing happens.This started about a month ago, but I thought it was just a one-time issue. I have spent more of today adding one file at a time, which is not as productive.Any ideas?Thanks.

Cannot make the top level folder in my hierarchy public

I am trying to get items to appear in the portal view. And I understand that I need to make sure all levels are public, from the item to the folder structure it is nested in. I go to the folder level, right click on the folder title, and scroll down and choose public (it is currently set to private) and then a box containing a large red dot and a message flashes on the screen and then disappears before I can read it or engage with the content and then when I right click the folder name again, I can see that access is still coded as “private”. What the heck is going on?
