File Modify is a plugin for Omeka that allows to modify (convert, compress, watermark, rename or any other command) uploaded file before saving it in files folder and before creating metadata in Omeka database.
The example process adds a watermark to each uploaded image. Original files can be backup automatically if wanted.
Renaming requires Archive Repertory plugin.
Uncompress files and rename plugin folder "FileModify".
Then install it like any other Omeka plugin and follow the config instructions.
Finally, you should adapt the files libraries/FileModify/Preprocess.php
and
libraries/FileModify/Rename.php
to your specific needs, if used.
If you use the renaming feature, you need to install and enable the plugin Archive Repertory. Furthermore, you should take care with non-ascii filenames if your server is not fully UTF-8 compliant.
Two mechanisms are provided in order to transform files.
-resample 96x96 -quality 50 -resize 50%
-pointsize 120 -draw "gravity South fill black text 0,12 'Powered by Omeka' fill blue text 1,11 'Powered by Omeka'"
Warning: parameters are not escaped.
The default library adds a watermark to an image. Parameters can be, for this library, for a watermark from a file or a text:

Powered by Omeka, Center, fixe, 85
Use it at your own risk.
It’s always recommended to backup your files and your databases and to check your archives regularly so you can roll back if needed.
