Build 36 makes P5 inventory imports schema-safe and extends generation support from LTO-5 through LTO-10.
Highlights
- Imports both the six-column P5 Archive Export/direct
nsdchatinventory and P5 Web GUI's eight-column Volume Inventory. - Shows Review Inventory Columns before manual file, folder, or combined CSV + TSV import.
- Validates every row before changing the catalog and preserves the previous inventory when a replacement is unknown, mixed, malformed, or invalid.
- Reads file size from the correct schema column and preserves an empty trailing checksum field.
- Records detected schema and ordered field mapping as inventory-source provenance.
- Marks unknown watched layouts as
needs_column_mappinginstead of guessing. - Adds cyan/teal LTO-5 and magenta LTO-10 indicators, including official LTO-10 LA/PA media identifiers and
LTO-10source folders. - Documents official LTO-5 through LTO-10 native and advertised compressed capacities separately from content-size inference.
- Labels size-derived generation as “LTO-X or newer,” not exact media identification.
Compatibility
- macOS 14.6 or later.
- Existing six-column TSV inventories remain supported.
- P5 Web GUI eight-column inventories no longer require conversion.
- Unknown custom TSV layouts are rejected safely; an unrestricted custom field mapper is not included in this release.
Safety
P5 Archive Browser remains read-only toward the P5 server. Inventory imports change only the local catalog. Back up the catalog from Settings ▸ Catalog Data before large production tests.
