Upload sidecar text/README file?

Open kgrons opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

We have step-by-step capture notes which make it possible to navigate some of our more complex captures. Is there a feature which allows the upload of a sidecar file to a Collection?

An alternative we found is to dump this formatted text into the Description field, which helpfully collapses/scrolls for larger entries, but it would be helpful to have a dedicated area to add additional metadata about the capture.

I could see this being applicable for descriptive records of the collection itself. E.g., if a user has a record based on the recommendations for Descriptive Metadata for Web Archiving?

Hi @kgrons, would it be possible to split up capture notes for each individual page, or do they generally apply to an entire collection?

e.g., you might already be aware, but we added a description field to bookmarks within a list, so they could possibly be added there? screen shot 2018-08-09 at 4 09 57 pm

Thanks for the feedback, we'll keep this use case in mind

Hi @m4rk3r thanks for the information - we didn't know about the description field per bookmark option. This could be used to satisfy some of our use case. Thanks!
