• Bulk upload

    From mark i@21:1/101 to apam on Wed Jan 6 13:04:19 2021
    Hi, I was trying to use the uploadbulk option in toolbelt. I keep getting:

    successfully added: f:\files\doorsaf\atlantis.zip
    caustion filename not matched: file_id.diz

    and that keeps going for each file. When I look in the file area of the BBS
    no files show up.

    I am using toolbelt uploadbulk f:\files\doorsaf
    d:\gemini\files\doorsaf.sqlite3

    gemini is my bbs name. Also the directory has about 800 files in it and about 3/4 way through windows pops up with a program stopped error box asking me to close. Possibly the array holding the filenames is getting overfull? The
    upload never finishes so maybe that is why it is not populating my file area?

    Thanks

    That's a harmless message from unzip. toolbelt tries to extract
    file_id.diz and FILE_ID.DIZ, so one is usually not matched.

    I am using toolbelt uploadbulk f:\files\doorsaf d:\gemini\files\doorsaf.sqlite3

    is files your data directory? I'm just guessing, but perhaps it's
    creating an sqlite database in a different place to what talisman is
    expecting (so you have 2 doorsaf.sqlite3 in different places, one with
    files and one without).

    gemini is my bbs name. Also the directory has about 800 files in it
    and about
    3/4 way through windows pops up with a program stopped error box
    asking me to
    close. Possibly the array holding the filenames is getting overfull?

    file area?

    That is odd. I wonder if it's getting stuck on a particular file.

    How big is the 800 files? Would it be possible to zip them up and send to
    me so I can try to reproduce it?

    Hi again, The files I want to import are on a cd which have the directory
    path of "F:\FILES\DOORSAF" I don't want to copy them to my hard drive. How
    can I import them into talisman using toolbelt uploadbulk?

    can you please show me the command line example and also what would I enter into my fb_general.toml for CD drive directories?

    Thanks
    mark

    toolbelt uploadbulk F:\\FILES\\DOORSAF data\\somedatabase.sqlite3

    Should work. I've not tested files on a cdrom before.
