Check local Archiware P5 server if selected files in a folder at a path are archived. More Archiware scripts in Archiware repo.
- The script creates a list of files and checks if P5 has a "handle" for a file at a path
- Files not archived will be listed in a text file.
- Files archived by P5 will be checked for relevant metadata and listed in a csv (spreadsheet) file.
- P5 Check (Dialog) uses the swiftDialog project for notifications of script checking progress.
- P5 Check (Perl) uses a perl code block to better handle filenames with commas.
