Hi all,
I am using DSpace 1.8.0. I notice that while submitting a new item, there is no
functionality for uploading multiple files (bitstreams) at once.
However, after uploading the file, at the page where you can edit its metadata
(edit-item) from the admin ui, at the bottom of the page, the ability for
adding/removing/ordering the bitstreams is present!
So, I would like to ask:
1. Is there an “orthodox” way to enable multiple bitstream submission during
the item submission process? (I did not see such an option in dspace.cfg,
input-forms.xml, or item-submission.xml)
2. Are there any plans to include this functionality in future DSpace releases?
3. Although this seems like a trivial functionality (DSpace is after all an
asset management system, so one would expect to find out-of-the-box support for
multiple files per entry), is there a specific reason why this functionality is
not present? Am I the only one with the need for this?
4. In case of 3 NO’s in the questions above, are there any guidelines for a
custom implementation, without messing up much DSpace’s internal functionality?
Thanks in advance,
