Tropy Archive Plugin

Tropy plugin for exporting items into a single zip archive. This includes all the metadata, as well as the photo files.

Installation

• Download the .zip file from the latest release on GitHub.
• In Tropy, navigate to Preferences… > Plugins and click Install Plugin to select the downloaded ZIP file.

Configuration

To configure the plugin, click its Settings button in Preferences > Plugins:

In the plugin preferences,

• the Name parameter names the particular instance of the plugin, to make it easier to select that configuration from the Export menu.
• the Root folder parameter specifies the name of the folder (inside the zip archive) where all the exported items will be placed.
• the Image folder parameter specifies the name of the subdirectory within the Root folder where image files will be saved. By default this is ., which means the Root directory itself rather than a subdirectory
• the Save as parameter specifies the default file name and location for the zip archive to be saved.
• Always ask? can be checked to make the file picker dialog always be shown, even when the Save as parameter is set to specify a default location.

Usage

To trigger the plugin, select the entry in the export sub-menu in Tropy.
