Highlight Fixes#

slk archive, slk chmod, slk owner (only admin) and slk group: do not return exit code 1 if one or more files are skipped; exit code 1 is only returned if the archival of one or more files failed
slk tag -display: fixed and prints the metadata of any archived file
slk archive: does not create folders with . and .. as names anymore
slk list -b: prints the correct file size in bytes (the byte size was wrong by a factor of 100 in slk version 3.3.67)
slk netCDF metadata import: finalzied as described here; please notify us, if fields are missing

slk in general:
- concise error messages when connection issues to the StrongLink System occur (past: “session expired” was printed)
- error messages improved generally
metadata import:
- netCDF global attributes and variable information are imported as described here; there are two schemata netcdf and netcdf_header
- please notify support@dkrz.de, if metadata fields, which you need, are missing (adding them will take a while)
- fixed: in the past, no netCDF metadata was imported at all if one of the targeted global attributes was of wrong type
- the netCDF metadata importer does basic type conversion (e.g. int to string)
slk archive, slk chmod, slk owner (only admin) and slk group:
- do not return exit code 1 if one or more files are skipped
- exit code 1 is only returned if the archival of one or more files failed
slk archive:
- does not create folders with . and .. as names anymore
slk chmod:
- command line output improved when targeted resource does not exists
slk list:
- -b prints the correct file size in bytes (the byte size was wrong by a factor of 100 in slk version 3.3.67)
slk login:
- fixed: in the past, the login dialog printed an error if a wrong password was provided first and the correct password was provided in the second try
slk tag
- -display is fixed and prints the metadata of any archived file
- fixed: in the past the number of files to modify was not displayed when 10000 files and more are targeted

slk list wildcard evaluation for directories does only work if * replace the full name of a directory and not parts; this works: slk list /arch/*/k204221/INDEX.txt; but not: slk list /arch/b*/k204221/INDEX.txt
slk list SEARCH_ID collects all search results, first, and, then, prints them. This might take a while if many search results are found. Alternatively, you can run slk_helpers list_search on the same SEARCH_ID which will print search results continuously.
slk move -i throws an error if the interactive prompt is answered with y/yes
slk move allows to use the * wildcard to specify the source files; doing so will cause an error You do not have permission to access this endpoint
