Hello Geonetwork Developers,
Recently we imported hundreds of records into our Geonetwork-MEST through
batch XML import for one dataset type from the one organisation all having the
same thumbnail.
However there is no equivalent 'batch' process for thumbnail attachment and it is
very time consuming to import thumbnails one-by-one for hundreds of records.
Therefore this enhancement proposes a method to add/update/delete the same thumbnail to
a mass of selected records.
For details refer to ticket #383 on Geonetwork Trac at

Another option, could be to create MEF file and then import MEF
instead of XML. MEF could include thumbnail information.
Talend Open Studio could help building MEF file using sMEFCreator
component. I've been working on building metadata from PDF map archive
including thumbnails [1], [2].
HTH.

Hi Francois,
Thanks for the suggestion of using 'MEF file import' as a way uploading multiple
metadata/thumbnails. I tried this out but its a bit time consuming with lots of steps
as follows:
For each metadata file do steps 1-4 below
1. Make folder
2. Inside folder make:
metadata.xml
info.xml
public/ (folder)
thumbnail_s.png (small thumb)
thumbnail.png (large thumb)
3. Highlight above files, right click and send to compressed zip file
4. Suffix zip filename extension .mef
5. make another upload folder and copy all the *.mef files to it
6. Import these mef files to Geonetwork using Admin-Batch Upload MEF option.
Automating above process (1-4) requires a non-trivial script which wouldn't
be easy for non programming capable users. So still feel that a massive thumbnail
update process would be simpler. Haven't had a chance to try 'Talend OpenStudio
MEFCreator component' yet.
Thanks,
Andrew
