The main goal of the script is to allow a complete recreation of your library just from the Metadata File and to dynamically build and maintain collections.
To do that you have to specify the metadata and collections in a Metadata File that is defined by the Libraries attribute in the Configuration File.
You must have at least one Metadata file per Library.
There are three mappings allowed in the Metadata File's root:
| Name | Attribute | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Metadata | metadata |
mapping where metadata changes go |
| Templates | templates |
mapping where templates for automatic collections go |
| Collections | collections |
mapping where automatic collections and collection metadata go |
- Either
