Hello Michael and Claudia,
Thanks for the interest. As soon as she finishes with the results from

I thought at this point, the admin would be able to open the file to
look at it; however, there is no link for the file.
Is there a link for the file on the previous screens (accept and
perform task)? I suspect this may be a usability wart rather than a
permissions error.

Hi Brett,
Thanks for your interest in this patch. I was hoping to get more feedback
before it went in to 1.8.1, but I could have written the patch sooner.
For the components that DS-1076 (Xmlui static pages) affects, it should
work just fine with 1.7.2. So feel free to invest the time patching
have to choose a browse type in order to see the collection
contents. We don't want to lose users because they're confused and
can't navigate our repositories. Furthermore, Discovery's faceted
search was suggested as a solution, but I'm not entirely sure it
addresses this particular usability

I'd love to hear more from folks who are storing large data sets, just to
hear how you're handling usability of the stored data.

fork that repo and give this a more structured test. I already
found some syntax and usability bugs there (mixing sh and bash, not reading
the sourced variables, etc).
