DSpace folks, Two questions for the community...
1. I'd like to remove a large number of thumbnail bitstreams that were generated for various bitstream types (JPEG, PDF, text, etc.). I'm doing this to simply fall back on a generic icon view for various bitstream types and be more selective about which types have generated thumbnails. In comments dating back to 2013, helix84 suggests changing the 'deleted' column's boolean in the table 'bitstream' to true and then running "dspace cleanup -v", that this will remove the associate in bundle2bitstream. Nabble ref: http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/How-to-purge-remove-old-thumbnails-tp4667289p4667326.html Unfortunately, the outcome is instead to remark that the item exists in bundle2bitstream and won't be removed. Here's the exact output I receive: ./dspace cleanup -v - Deleting bitstream information (ID: 90841) - Deleting bitstream record from database (ID: 90841) Error: ERROR: update or delete on table "bitstream" violates foreign key constraint "$2" on table "bundle2bitstream" Detail: Key (bitstream_id)=(90841) is still referenced from table "bundle2bitstream". Since it is discouraged to manually remove the references in bundle2bitstream, are there any other suggestions? (Using "./dspace itemupdate" will require prepping a substantial archival structure, one I'm currently ruling out.) 2. A second question: Thumbnail generation for TIFF images in DSpace 5, via the media filter, resulted in Java exceptions and were all therefore skipped. I read in one document that ImageMagick and Ghostscript are the preferred conversion utilities in DSpace 5 and have switched to that from our default thumbnail settings in DSpace 5. Is this true and have I made the right choice? I would rather not change approaches just because a vague error is being produced.
