Hi, I was trying to use the uploadbulk option in toolbelt. I keep getting:

successfully added: f:\files\doorsaf\atlantis.zip
caustion filename not matched: file_id.diz

and that keeps going for each file. When I look in the file area of the BBS
no files show up.

I am using toolbelt uploadbulk f:\files\doorsaf
d:\gemini\files\doorsaf.sqlite3

gemini is my bbs name. Also the directory has about 800 files in it and about 3/4 way through windows pops up with a program stopped error box asking me to close. Possibly the array holding the filenames is getting overfull? The
upload never finishes so maybe that is why it is not populating my file area?

Thanks
mark

That's a harmless message from unzip. toolbelt tries to extract
file_id.diz and FILE_ID.DIZ, so one is usually not matched.

is files your data directory? I'm just guessing, but perhaps it's
creating an sqlite database in a different place to what talisman is
expecting (so you have 2 doorsaf.sqlite3 in different places, one with
files and one without).

That is odd. I wonder if it's getting stuck on a particular file.

How big is the 800 files? Would it be possible to zip them up and send to
me so I can try to reproduce it?

Hi again, The files I want to import are on a cd which have the directory
path of "F:\FILES\DOORSAF" I don't want to copy them to my hard drive. How
can I import them into talisman using toolbelt uploadbulk?

can you please show me the command line example and also what would I enter into my fb_general.toml for CD drive directories?

Thanks
mark

toolbelt uploadbulk F:\\FILES\\DOORSAF data\\somedatabase.sqlite3

Should work. I've not tested files on a cdrom before.
