Make a manual import process #337
Description
Flow 1:
- user scans images into machine (maybe integrate scanner connection in software if poss)
- user imports PDF
- Form pops up asking for model of info about the piece (see issue Create meta extraction algorithm #65 for model)
- user fills it in, gets added to database
Flow 2:
- Folder contains PDFs
- Expand folder scanning to include PDFs as well as XML and MXL
- Pop up with "we found x amount of PDF files. Do you want to manually import them?"
- see above, pop up form needs to be...relatively easy to work with multiple files tho
Issues:
- Maybe we should do some combination of both. It would be nice to automate as much as possible, but if users need to scan music in it would be nice to have it directly integrated rather than having to leave the program, but that really depends on how easy that is to do. Might be as simple as doing an os call, might not.
- For flow 2, currently I think all pdf files/ly files are saved in the exact same folder as the user's collection, so we would need to create a sub folder "output" to put those files into or Flow 2 will try and pick the files up twice.
- probably also need to think about pdfs from online. Put those in a "downloads" folder?
