Settings for UCS Metadata Utility

UCS Metadata Utility has a settings file named

You can edit this file to change some settings that the App uses. Other indirect feature is that you can change these values in runtime. To refresh the values, you will have to refresh the Home page only

The JSON file has a content similar to the next one:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "AllowedHosts": "*",
  "UCSMetadata": {
    "FileNameText": "",
    "DescriptionText": "",
    "SeparatorBetweenFields": "_"
  }
}

Here, the relevant part is the next one:

"UCSMetadata": {
  "FileNameText": "",
  "DescriptionText": "",
  "SeparatorBetweenFields": "_"
}

The explanation of each property here is:

• The FileNameText property is a fix text that will appear in the File Name Metadata textbox each time that you decide to clean the File Name part, or refresh the Home page
• The DescriptionText property has the same effect that FileNameText but for the Description Metadata textbox
• The SeparatorBetweenFields property is used by the File Name Metadata textbox when we want to copy the result to the clipboard, so if you decide use the character _ and in the File Name Metadata textbox for a WAV file name, you have the text Hello World for example, you will copy to the clipboard the text Hello_World.WAV
