Creating a Transcript of a Directory & Contents

You can use the radmind command line or Radmind Transcript Editor to create a transcript of a directory and contents.

Using fsdiff command...

fsdiff -c sha1 -K /dev/null /path/to/directory > /path/to/transcript.T

The "-K" option specifies a command file, which in the example above "/dev/null" is empty. The "/path/to/directory" is the absolute path to the directory you want to create the directory. Or if you are using relative paths for transcripts use...

fsdiff -c sha1 -K /dev/null ./path/to/directory > /path/to/transcript.T

To redirect output to a transcript using the  "> /path/to/transcript.T"

Using Radmind Transcript Editor...

You simply drag the directory to the Radmind Transcript Editor window.

Creating a Transcript of a Directory Only

Again, you can use the radmind command line or Radmind Transcript Editor to create a transcript of a directory only

The "-1" option outputs a single transcript line for a give file or directory.
