Upgrade Storage[Papercuts] PDF retrieve metadata
Also see: item 3 on discussion 8073
@mark wrote in response to my question, "How long should I wait?".- "The PDF retrieve metadata functionality is still very much underspecified UI-wise. It can hang indefinitely for no discernible reason, doesn't have an option to skip after a user-settable timeout, etc." Thanks, Mark. While an improved UI that gives more user control will be helpful, my "how long?" question remains. Is there any reason why there should be a lengthy wait for a single metadata request? The retrieve metadata utility is wonderful. Having some indication that contact with Google has been made and an unsuccessful search was completed would be a great enhancement.
By the way, before Mark's reply, I had not realized that it was possible to make multiple simultaneous (or serial) metadata requests by selecting several files. Thanks.
