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