Hi all, I’ve been looking at posts like this one about json issue and this with Library of Congress IIIF manifests, could use some help with my own IIIF importing into Tropy. I’m attempting to add a bunch of files from Yale Libraries, like this one here. Working on a Mac (Sonoma 14.8 OS) and with the IIIF plugin installed, I’ve been unable to drag and drop but have had success in downloading the manifest as a json file, then uploading it via the plugin. If I try to drag in json file I just get an empty item.
While getting these manifests to show me the images is great, there is a lot of metadata (like creator, description, etc) that is not going into the correct categories when I import using Tropy generic, Dublin Core, or Tropy photo templates. Do I need to make my own template? Modify the files before importing them? I’ve tried using both the IIIF 1.3.0 and 2.0.0 plugin (pre-release), messing with the settings on each and finding the 2.0.0 version more likely to actually get the images to load, but same lack of metadata still happens.
I’m sure there’s a smoother, faster workflow that what I am currently attempting and could use some advice. It seems like I am so close to being able to import with all of the data that’s already there attached… but keep coming up short. Thanks for any and all advice.
