Action Yearbook Collection

The Collection formerly known as Gentofte need to be finalised for the DOMS system. This involves various changes detailed below:

FoxML

1 md in total

DataFiles

2 md total

In progress. The files have been copied to my machine from zeus (exact location on the Årbøger page) using scp, the filenames have been converted using the exact commands on the convmv page, and there is now a convert.sh script, which converts all gif, png and jpg files to tiff and creates empty txt files for all pdf files in a given directory. Any existing tiff files or txt files with the same names will be overwritten! This should probably be fixed, but there are no tiff or txt files in the original material, so it is not important. And the created tiff images have meaningless resolution units - should be fixed! -- bam 2008-04-03 11:16:28

I have run the convert script locally. It takes approx. 47 minutes to run the script. I have checked the result and found and corrected a bug (the script converted to the wrong file names if there were more than one dot in the original file names). The created tiff images still have meaningless resolution units - should be fixed! -- bam 2008-04-07 07:27:23

The resolution units are undefined in the original images, so we will leave image conversion as is. In the conversion script we will change file access permissions from rwxr-xr-x to rw-r--r--. We note that image magick is not good for conversion to tiff, and we need to find good conversion tools for putting collections into DOMS. -- bam 2008-04-08 09:02:58

If you want to know the metadata in an image, the following commands may be helpfull: identify -verbose, jhove?, tiffinfo, exiv2.

DONE. To get the wanted yearbook collection files

Catch: We need to read up on our own tiff requirements and make sure that the converted files meet these. The convert script has been updated to not compress the tiff files. And we note that updating image magick to version 6.3.5 takes care of the 'Unknown pseudo-tag 65537. `TIFFSetField'.'-errors.
