MoveSubjectLocators
It is possible to set up simple file repository in Wandora-Piccolo servlet application. Furthermore it is possible to upload subject locator resources to these simple file repositories. Lets say you have constructed very nice topic map. Some of your topics have subject locators referring to real Internet resources. Now think that you are not sure if these resources exists also tomorrow. Or perhaps your Internet connection is just too slow to access resources far away. Now would it be nice to move all these subject locator resources to your own file server. And that is what this tool does.
The resource the subject locator is pointing to is downloaded and then sent to the file server. File server will save the file and return a new URL that can be used to access the sent file on the file server. This new URL is then set as the new subject locator for the topic.
Configuring the tool
The tool must be configured before usage. Generally tool is configured with the Tool manager but tool can also be configured holding CTRL key down while you start the tool. The configure window of MoveSubjectLocators requires the user to enter file server's IP address, file server port number, user name, password, and optional file prefix.
Setting up the file server
Wandora does not use any common file server protocol but a custom Wandora file server. Wandora desktop application has no file server running and you must set it up separately with Wandora-Piccolo combination.
