3.2.4. Unlinked files

Click the Unlinked files function button to get an overview of all unlinked files in the current workspace. What is shown is the type of file as recognized by LAMUS, the filename, the extension and title (path). The format of the files is listed under the next header. An overview of accepted formats is presented under the IMDI-format header in the tables of Appendix A.

You can see whether the node already contains linked content (i.e. other corpus-, session nodes or resources), and you do it by checking if a small square icon is present on the left of the node type, and if the header Info reports child nodes included (as is the case for the corpus node in the picture below). If this node is linked in the tree-view this content and structure will stay connected to this node. In this way you can locally assemble a whole corpus using Arbil http://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/arbil/, upload all components to the workspace and link the complete structure in the tree.

To sort the list click on the desired table header (i.e. Name for alphabetical ordering). Press the View button to have a look at the contents in a separate window. In order to erase files from the unlinked files container tick the checkboxes of the files you want to remove. After pressing the Delete button these files will be erased instantly from the current workspace. Use the Select all and Reset all buttons to select/deselect all of the files in the list.

On the bottom of the main interaction window, the currently used and available space of the workspace is shown. This gives an indication of when the user needs to request more free space for his/her archive.
