Import Recordings

Imports one or more recordings into a Vesper archive. Each recording must comprise one or more .wav files in one of the archive's recording directories on the server. The import does not copy the files, but rather remembers their paths relative to the archive's recording directories.

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.

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

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.

The importer automatically groups the files of multi-file continuous recordings, based on the files' start times and durations.

The import runs as a Vesper job.
