{% include "vesper/header-prefix.html" %}
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.
