Upload files
You upload files by dragging and dropping them. Where you drop them takes care of the assignment at the same time, so three steps become one.
Drop targets
| Target | Result |
|---|---|
| Object card in the gallery | The file belongs to the object |
| Image area of an object card | Also placed in the image field |
| Image cell in the table | The file belongs to the object and appears in the image field of that column |
| Image or file field in the object view | Also placed in this field |
| File area with a keyword filter | The area’s keywords are set on the file |
| File area without a filter | The file belongs to the object, with no further assignment |

While you drag over the image area, the card shows what will happen to the file.
Condition photos when a loan arrives
-
Open the object and choose the layout with the matching file area, for example an area with the keyword Zustand Eingang (condition on arrival).
-
Drag all the photos onto this area.
-
Done: upload, assignment to the object and keyword in one go.
A condition report from a Word template can then pick out exactly these images by their keyword. See Recipes .
While the upload runs
Running uploads appear at the bottom left, and you can keep working in the project. Large files carry on uploading in the background. If you log out while uploads are still running, Moliri asks first.
A file is only fully available once its previews have been created as well. For large TIFF or raw files this second step takes noticeably longer; the file shows its current state.
After the browser is reloaded
If the browser was reloaded during an upload, Moliri asks you to select the same file again. This is a security rule of the browser. Nothing is transferred twice: the upload continues where it left off.
Compression
Under Global settings, group Compression, you can switch on Compress files before upload, together with Max longest edge. You reach the global settings through the button at the bottom of the view settings, through the profile page or through the cog in the upload bar.
The compressed version is the file that gets stored. For photos that are to stay with the collection, leave the option off. For working photos taken on a phone it saves a lot of time and space. SVG files are never compressed.
