Download

Purpose of the plugin

Data files can be downloaded from OMN using the download function.

Introduction

The download enables the user to transfer files from the OMN system to their local storage.

The downloads can be customized beyond the simple download function. For example, files can be checked out or individual files can be provided as a ZIP file.

When downloading pre-press files, the images contained in the document can also be downloaded. If desired, a text file can be supplied that lists missing images.

The user and the time of the download can also be noted on the asset and thus recorded.

If files are to be downloaded from different paths, converted or sent directly by e-mail, the download described here is not suitable. In such cases, it is recommended using the shopping cart.

How to use

If the "Download" function is available, it is displayed in the toolbar after selecting a folder, asset or within a workflow.
The download offers various configurations, which are listed in the following chapters.

Advanced settings

Specific settings can be added to the download:

Lock files

The selected files are downloaded and then locked in the OMN system, which is visually indicated by a lock symbol. This lock means that the file can only be edited by the download user until it is released again by the download user.

Provide files as a zip archive

All selected files are provided as a ZIP archive, even if only a single file was selected.
If multiple files are selected, they are provided as a ZIP file regardless of the setting.

If the setting is not activated, individually selected files are downloaded directly.

Insert missing images as text file

This setting is taken into account when downloading the "Document with assets".
If a file that is placed in the document is not found in the OMN system, this is documented in a text file.
