Starter: Thumbnails for foldersProduct idea

Hi Starter community,Some of you have been asking to display thumbnails for collections/folders, so they are displayed visibly on Explorer, similar to what you have on Portal.This new feature would enable you to view and manage thumbnails for folders.Please take a look at the mock-up and let me know what you think. If you would find this useful, you can also “like” it. All the best,MichaelaStarter Team

CSV metadata files used with CONTENTdm

Hi everyone,I was wondering whether anyone has any CSV metadata files they use with CONTENTdm or for possibly migrating content from CONTENTdm to Preservica? We could use some sample files we can test our new bulk ingest feature with. Anything you can share is much appreciated.MichaelaMichaela.Heigl@preservica.com

Sharepoint connector

Good evening and congrats with this good looking “community hub”.So I thought … let’s test this with a real question :-)We have started to orient us a bit in the vast topic of archiving from collaborative workspaces. It is complex for many reasons. My eye fell on the Perservica’s page related to “automated sharepoint archiving” and I wondered what the current state of play is. The page reveals some high level features but we are interested in more details of this process (both technical and functional wise). Is more information available ?I checked the latest user documentation and ctrl-f’ed it with “sharepoint” but could not find something (but I might have missed it of course); I also looked into the user portal forum and there are some posts. This one from 2020 is in particular interesting.Thanks for any feedback !Lieven

JPG vs. TIF

We are tossing around the idea of not uploading TIFF files (to save space in our Preservica instance) and depending on the JPG as our archival copy. If Preservica is doing the digital preservation work on the JPG, is there a need for TIFF still? I’d be curious to hear what you think.
