James Truitt (he/him)<p>Really wild how difficult it is to bag things. My options:</p><p>1. Python Bagit lib. <br>Pro: Straightforward. <br>Con: Can't use bagger profiles or add metadata fields in a specific order</p><p>2. Bagger. <br>Pros: Profiles! Can edit existing bags! <br>Cons: Horrible Win95-esque UI, loses timestamps when bagging unless bagging in place, bagging in place scrambles field order &amp; sometimes dies halfway through</p><p>3. Dart. <br>Pros: Profiles! Lovely GUI! <br>Cons: Can't edit existing bags, no support for tag files</p><p><a href="https://code4lib.social/tags/DigiPres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigiPres</span></a></p>
