13 years ago I've added the confirmation screen.
Perian: I don't know how complicated it would be, but is there a way for FtP to check to see if a text has already been imported? 3:53 PM me: think think think yeeees. Perian: I like that thought process there, Ben ;) me: it's easy to check for texts that have been imported from teh same source 3:54 PM what's harder is determining whether the resulting texts actually shouldn't be superceded e.g. if an import was abortive and the work was never added to a collection maybe I should check, and if I find an pre-existing work from the same source, prompt the user and ask them whether they want to continue anyway? 3:55 PM hey, some of us have been reading a.a. milne lately Perian: ahahahaha I was just thinking a bit of pooh was in that 3:56 PM yeah. If it's not a hard fix, that might be the easiest solution cause here's what happens now 3:57 PM With Klauber, there are, what?, 25 journals or so? 3:58 PM And so when I go to import the next volume, I have to open up another browser tab, look to see where I left off, then go back to the import. me: yep ah good point Perian: This isn't that difficult with Klauber, because those are arranged by date me: sure -- lemme add a confirmation screen before the import happens 3:59 PM and then point both the new paste-the-url page and the old oai-record-import page to that confirmation page before the import actually happens. Perian: but if there are journals or manuscripts that are titled in a more textual way, it would be harder me: good point 4:00 PM Perian: and easy for me since I know what's happening, but I don't have that level of trust in some of my users ;) me: ha! okay. so that's a to-do
