The list in the left part of the screen shows the files you process:
In the list you can see the status of the files: successfully converted and validated files are shown in green, those with either a conversion or validation problem are shown in red, the ones that not have been processed yet are in black and the ones that have been saved to the output directory have a saved icon in front of them. Files with an entire green bar over them are the ones that are either being processed or being looked at (their more detailed information is shown in the tabs in the right part of the screen).
Contents
Upload files to the list
By clicking on the main menu option File and then on the submenu option Select file or directory, you can upload one or several file(s) or a whole directory with files. The last path used when opening files is memorised by the tool. If the option Checks when loading files is set to yes, only XML files are added to the list, and non-XML files are discarded. It's not possible to load two files with the same name. An according error message is displayed if it happens and you are asked to cancel the action or overwrite the first file.
Remove files from the list
Select the file(s) by clicking on the name of one or more files and use the right click of the mouse, or after having selected it (them), choose Close selected file(s) in the main menu option File.
Functions of the list
Processing files
In order to process a file, or a batch of files, make a selection in the list, and then start the convert and/or validate process it by using the buttons in the Summary tab in the right part of the screen.
The radio buttons in the right part of the screen indicate which schema and style sheet you are going to apply to your file(s). By default, the buttons are selected to convert or validate EAD files in apeEAD and by using the default apeEAD style sheet.
The action buttons in the right part of the screen are activated when at least one file is selected in the list and depending on the status of your file (for example, the button Convert to EDM will only be available for validated apeEAD files).
The button Convert to EDM is activated when a file containing digitised objects has been successfully converted to apeEAD and validated.
The button at the bottom of the list, Create holdings guide, is activated when at least one already successfully converted and validated file is selected in the list.
