How do I create a new transcript of a single object?

You can use the command line of GUI tools to create a transcript of a single file system object (i.e. file, directory, link, etc.).

Using the command line tool fsdiff:

   fsdiff -1 -c sha1 /path/to/object

The -1 option outputs a transcript for a single file system object. The /path/to/object is the absolute path to the directory you want to create the directory.

The above command will output the transcript to screen. You could redirect output to a file adding the following:

   > /path/to/transcript

Or using option -o.

Using the GUI tool Radmind Transcript Editor:

You simply drag the file system object to the Radmind Transcript Editor window.

If you are dragging a folder, you will get the following dialog, where you select "Add Directory".

Else, if you are adding a file, the transcript line will be added to the transcript.

Here is a script to automate the process:
