Re: [Fez-users] bulk loading of objects and batch metadata creation

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Yes clicking on the object brings up an empty window.  Also if you click on the property the size is 0.  I'll get our administrator to check the error log.

Thanks for responding,
John

Hi John 

I havent had any experience with the SIP Creator so I'll skip to 2. 

Could you check your error_handler.log and your (temp dir)/fez_bgp.* logs 
for errors that might be happening? So the object in fez/fedora exists, and 
it shows a link to the image, but clicking on the image link gives nothing 
or some sort of error? 

Cheers 
Christiaan
