2.2: Saving the Collection

Save your work regularly by opening the "File" menu and choosing "Save". Saving a collection is not the same as making it ready for use in Greenstone (see Producing Your Collection).

The Librarian Interface protects your work by saving it whenever you exit the program or load another collection.

Collections are saved to a folder within your Greenstone installation's "collect" folder, named with a short version of the collection name. Documents are saved to the "import" sub-folder, and metadata is saved to "metadata.xml" files within this folder. Configuration information is saved to the "collect.cfg" file within the "etc" sub-folder. Some information is also saved in a file named for the collection and with file extension ".col".
