Subject: [Dspace-tech] Multiple large files loaded onto one record - issues 
with the sort and open

I am currently working on the digitisation project.
Some of the scanned files are very big; the file itself can even go up to 
several hundred pages in hard copy and in order to make it smaller when scanned 
I saved it in few 'smaller' pdf files. Those smaller files have in between 6 up 
to even 20 MB.

Then I had to add those files to one record only. This means I ended up with a 
record that can have up to 8 files attached - some of the files up to 20 
megabytes.

The problems I have with this solutions are;
a. The sort for these files can get messed up - for example: 154.v2 shows 
before 154.v1.
b. When the size is bigger than 5 MB, instead of just opening a pdf in the web 
browser; the window pops up alerting you to either save or open the file. This 
does not happen for smaller files.
[Sue T.] There is a configuration parameter in dspace.cfg that controls how 
large files can be and still be opened inline instead of downloaded.  In DSpace 
1.5.1, do a search on " Content Inline Disposition Threshold".  There are 
separate settings for JSPUI and XMLUI as follows:

#### Content Inline Disposition Threshold ####
# Set the max size of a bitstream that can be served inline
# Use -1 to force all bitstream to be served inline
# The 'webui.*' setting is for the JSPUI, and
# the 'xmlui.*' setting is for the XMLUI
#webui.content_disposition_threshold = 8388608
#xmlui.content_disposition_threshold = 8388608
webui.content_disposition_threshold = -1
xmlui.content_disposition_threshold = -1

As you can see, we have both of ours set to -1.


Is this a known problem? Do you have the same situation?
How can I re-sort?
How can I skip the pop-up window unless this is the browser configuration issue.


Any ideas to go around this are welcome.

Thanks,
