Hi Sai, If you run "filter-media" **without** the "-f" flag, then it should automatically skip all Items that already have generated thumbnails. For example:
./dspace filter-media When you run it **with** the "-f" flag, that tells the filter-media script to **regenerate all thumbnails**. For more information see the documentation on this script <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Mediafilters+for+Transforming+DSpace+Content#MediafiltersforTransformingDSpaceContent-Executing(viaCommandLine)> . (The "skip list" is only needed if you have files which are consistently throwing errors and you want to *skip them from all future runs* of the "filter-media" script. But, it shouldn't be necessary in your use case.) Tim On Monday, June 10, 2024 at 5:09:33 AM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > Hi All, > > I have a query regarding filter-media.
