ComeOn

I understand that working on a spreadsheet is the main feature of this tool. How does spreadsheet support differ from what ComeOn offers? Nemo 13:47, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Possible to use other template?

I was wondering if it is possible to use on Pattypan another template than the four mentioned on the manual. Any answers?--Flor WMCH (talk) 12:11, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes! I updated the tutorial to make it more clear. -Sylvain Boissel WMFr (talk) 18:37, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Description in more languages

Is it possible to make a spreadsheet with more columns of „Description“ for more languages? For example one column for English and other for Spanish? I'm not able to write a proper code for that... — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 18:56, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hey, you can put entries for multiple languages within one column, as the example shows under "Fill in the spreadsheet with file descriptions", just replace the "pl" with "es": {{en|1=..(Your English description)..}}{{es|1=(..(Your Spanish description)..}} Hope that helps!

@The Raven's Librarian: Hi, thank you, but this is a solution I know already. My question was, whether is possible to split two descriptions into two columns – if I try to edit code in this way:

Extended content
=={{int:filedesc}}== {{Information |description = {{en|${description-en} }}{{es|${description-es} }} |date = ${date} |source = {{own}} |author = [[User:Draceane|Draceane]] }} =={{int:license-header}}== {{cc-by-sa-4.0}} <#if categories ? has_content> <#list categories ? split(";") as category> [[Category:${category?trim}]] [[Category:Files by Draceane]] </#list> <#else>{{subst:unc}} </#if>

it returns only error a the upload wouldn't start. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 17:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Ahoj, snažím se řešit podobný problém, ale na trochu jiném levelu. V podstatě mi jde o to že potřebuji sloupce: {{cs| (první), popisek (druhý) a }} třetí. Popisek potom vyplňuji přímo z názvu souboru. Vskutku je to postup, který nedokážu vyřešit pro více jazyků (to doufám vyřeší Martin Urbanec, až udělá rozšíření pro CMD a dám to tam zpětně, v podstatě taky ale potřebuju více sloupců. Řeším to přes textový soubor a příkazy pro přehazování jednotlivých textů, prezentaci pro WMPL jsem na toto téma měl v lednu, ten postup ale nevím jak realizovat ve Windows :-( takže je pro většinu uživatelů nepoužitelný.

Pro tvoje potřeby by možná bylo řešením založit druhou tabulku, která by byla nezávislá na Pattypanu. Do ní by si zkopíroval obsah sloupce C, v té tabulce vyplnil do sloupce D popisky v angličtině s příslušným formátováním a potom to sloučil za každý řádek každý sloupec zvlášť. Pokud nevíš jak to udělat v Excelu, dalo by se to udělat pomocí najít a nahradit v .csv ale už se dostáváme trochu do zóny "drbání se levou rukou za pravým uchem". Takže ono to jde ale možná to dává smysl jen pro větší sady fotek, aby se celý postup vyplatil. Nebo zkus napsat issue do repozitáře, kde se to vyvíjí. Aktron (talk) 22:42, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Díky za info. Ten postup, co popisuješ, taky dokážu, ale není to úplně user-friendly. Každopádně díky za tipy, uvidím, co dál. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 22:45, 10 December 2019 (UTC) (Takže to vypadá, že budu na popisy kašlat podobně, jako doteď...)

How many files can be uploaded at once?

Anyone knows how many pictures can be upload with pattypan at once? Or have I overlooked this information? Thank you for your answer. --Hadi (talk) 18:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

I would like to know this too, please. --Librarian lena (talk) 17:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

@Librarian lena: I heared now that someone uploaded about 200 files at once and was told that much more should be possible... Who knows? --Hadi (talk) 16:24, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks @Hadi: ! I ended up asking this question on the Wikidata Community Facebook page and I got a response that trying 500 is a safe bet, though particularly powerful computers can handle many more --Librarian lena (talk) 17:54, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Java version dilemma

I understand that Pattypan does not work in Java 11+, so I downloaded OpenJDK 8 to run it with. But, I cannot find an OpenJFX 8 for download anywhere (11 is the oldest available). I'm on Windows now, unfortunately, so I cannot go for a legacy package. Any ways around this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nils.Weinander-RA (talk • contribs) 14:03, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Problem solved, I built from source, with the Java 11+ fixes. Now it runs fine with OpenJDK 17 + OPenJFX 17. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nils.Weinander-RA (talk • contribs) 14:14, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
