Feature Request: Create Multiple Bags in Place at once #73

Open BWDouglas opened 4 months ago

BWDouglas commented 4 months ago

Hello! I am currently working on a project with hundreds of folders that need to be bagged individually. With the current workflow, this will take a very long time. Would it be possible to add a function to select a master folder and have it bag all subfolders individually? Or do you have any suggestion for how to automate this process?

If you are looking to automate, you probably should use https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/bagit-python The bottleneck making a bag faster will be how long it takes to read the files off disk.

But something like this should do it, in your terminal:

cd <master folder>
for f in `ls`; do bagit.py --sha256 <master folder>/$f; done
