Hi Caryn,
If you are going to use shell command ls for this purpose, I have a
suggestion to reduce manual editing:
ls --ignore=contents --ignore=dublin_core.xml > contents
Not every version of linux supports this switch. If your linux does, it
is possible to write a script to recursively run this command through
all sub-dirs. Then all contents files creation can be finished in a second.
What editor you are using to edit the contents files? IMHO, file
encoding is still the main suspect in the issue.
Best,
Allen Lam.
