The other day we outlined “Import & Export of metadata” that is coming in Razuna 1.4.8. Today, we would like to show you another new feature of Razuna 1.4.8; Adding assets from your custom path.
This new feature alone will delight many customers as it allows, among other options, to import your files from any path on your server to Razuna in one single operation. Especially, for large scale imports, there is huge benefit in it, because it will import your data to Razuna successively and include all subfolders and assets within, without any browser limitation because the assets reside already on the server.
Of course, the options for “linking to folders” and “adding assets from the server” are still available, but this new option will add assets to Razuna (instead of linking them) and will be able to include subfolders and re-create them within Razuna.
Especially for customers who migrate from another system this option will save them lots of headache. In other words, simply dump your current library to one folder and make this folder available on your Razuna server. Once completed, enter the path to your library in the new “Import from path” window and Razuna will automatically read your whole library, include all assets, all subfolders, read in the metadata (did you know that Razuna can read & write metadata since version 1.0?), create previews of your assets and make them available in Razuna and thus within the high powered search. To top it off, with the new ”Import & Export of metadata” option you can add your own metadata right away as well!
Our tests with over 500GB of image, video, audio and document assets have checked out successfully and we are extremely excited to include this feature in the upcoming Razuna 1.4.8 release.
