Hi Lewatle,
We frequently have batch loads come in large (4000+) and small (20+), and
the SAFBuilder tool I built does the job pretty easily for us at Ohio
State. Its built in Java, and works just fine on Windows, OSX, and Linux
computers.
It accepts input of a spreadsheet (with metadata and filenames), and a
directory with lots of files that are named in your spreadsheet.
The output is a Simple-Archive-Format directory (with subdirectories for
each Item with contents, dublin_core.xml, filename, etc) that you can
directly import into a DSpace collection through the [dspace]/bin/dspace
import command line launcher.
See Documentation with screenshots and commands to type:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Simple+Archive+Format+Packager
GitHub repository for SAFBuilder: https://github.com/peterdietz/SAFBuilder
If you or anyone finds it useful, let me know.
