Manifest Generator

A script to create a manifest from image files.

Assumption

It assumes all the image file names follow the same format, namely, .*CHAPTER_CNUM_PAGE_PNUM.jpf

where CNUM is replaced with the chapter number and PNUM with the page number.

CHAPTER and PAGE are cue strings that precedes the numbers, and can be set to different values in the config JSON file.

Install

Clone this repository

git clone [email protected]:yale-web-technologies/gen-manifest.git

Required modules are specified in requirements.txt. You can install them with

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

Tested only on Mac OS X. The images for the manifest should be present in the current directory because the script reads them to extract there width and height information.

FILES_LIST=files.txt
\ls -1 > $FILES_LIST

gen_manifest.sh $FILES_LIST [ $CONFIG_JSON_FILE ]

The FILES_LIST file contains file names, one per line.

CONFIG_JSON_FILE is optional. If present, the parameters set there will override the default ones defined in config.json in the script directory.
