Stray metadata files in zip #21

Open tfmorris opened 8 years ago

I'm not sure what's going on here, but the zip for 000000037 also contains the metadata file 000000218_metadata.xml as well as the correct 000000037_metadata.xml

If this error was introduced at the BL, it's something that we'll need to watch out for when processing.

Crazy. I'll look into it. While I'm at it, I'll get a bunch more samples and add them to this repo.

Actually, it's not just the metadata file. I didn't notice before, but the ALTO directory has all the pages for that volume as well. It's basically two entire volumes merged into a single zip file.

We can code for it if it's something that happens regularly, but if there's a 000000218_ zip file that has the right content, the easiest thing would be to just ignore the stray files (which is what I currently do).
