Add option to exclude derivatives from export #4

Closed tw4l closed 5 years ago

tw4l commented 5 years ago

It is possible that not all users will want to export derivative files from EPrints, as Archivematica is capable of generating very similar access derivatives. Should this functionality be made configurable?

Sure, we can add an option to exclude any derivative files:

$c->{DPExport}->{include_derivatives}=1;

Setting this to 0 would exclude anything such as thumbnail images and web accessible versions of the audio and video files.

For ease of reference, I believe these are the relevant bits of documentation for re-using derivatives.

Thanks, that is relevant, but since we are not getting Archivematica to generate a DIP, we don't really need to worry about re-using derivatives.
