Hi, I wondered whether anyone could advise on any programme which might be run to automatically populate a spreadsheet with the metadata associated with multiple files in a folder for ingest into Preservica? If this has to be manually added to the CSV metadata file, I can see this being hugely time-consuming and not really feasible for smaller institutions with limited staff time. I am concerned about how to retain the original creation date metadata on ingest. Thank you.

 Karen’s Directory Printer allows you to print directories and a variety of information (file size, created date, modified date etc.) about the files to CSV. However, that information would need to be transferred to the CSV metadata input sheet.


Thanks cwalker. I’ll take a look!
