Import recordings

Imports one or more recordings into this Vesper archive.

Each recording comprises one or more .wav files in one of the archive's recording directories on the server. The files are automatically grouped into continuous multi-file recordings when appropriate, according to their start times and durations. The files are not copied: instead their paths relative to the archive's recording directories are remembered. Note that if the paths of the files later change, they can be updated in the Vesper archive via the Refresh recording audio file paths command. Only new recordings are imported: no action is taken for recordings that have already imported.

An archive's recording directories can be specified via the recording_directories setting in the archive's Archive Settings.yaml file. If that setting is not specified, it defaults to a single path, that of the Recordings subdirectory of the archive directory.

If the Recursive check box is not checked below, the import will include recordings present in the specified directories, but not recordings in any of their subdirectories. If the Recursive check box is checked, the import will include recordings present in the specified directories, their subdirectories, subdirectories of those subdirectories, and so on.

Default values for the input elements of this form can be specified in the archive's Preferences.yaml file.
