# Rename XML Files for Media

Since the `.xslt` created single `.xml` files, you now need to rename these to match the media files exactly, with the additional `.metadata`, e.g., `OHI-0357_V_ShowersCharlesO_20220310.mp4.metadata` This is what Preservica requires.

I recommend going back to the XML Editor perspective for a fuller screen of the long `.xml` file.

![Editor View](https://2941452961-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUgvN1jZPCLML0RXmNAq8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a5f5824a8f1d18ffe2400c922be0038982c40f39%2FRename_XSLT_Editor.png?alt=media)

The new list of files e.g., `file1-40.xml` are in the same order as they appear in the main `.xml` file exported from Alma. Scroll through that file to target the newly transformed individual files and match it with the `fileX.xml`. The easiest way is to find the OHI in the `<dc:identifier>` field.

![OHI ID](https://2941452961-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUgvN1jZPCLML0RXmNAq8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-95800101a8db8e49a82f5567720e56850a652cd3%2FRename_OHI_ID.png?alt=media)

Copy the file name from one of the media files that match the OHI ID

![Copy file name](https://2941452961-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUgvN1jZPCLML0RXmNAq8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a9f15ccfb83746c19c87bfd305d0480010129095%2FRename_Multi_Files_Copy.png?alt=media)

Rename `fileX.xml` and paste the copied text and edit the `.xml` with `.metadata`

![Paste file name](https://2941452961-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUgvN1jZPCLML0RXmNAq8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0177b657e348d292f0dcfb2307267622d840899a%2FRename_Multi_Files_Paste.png?alt=media)

Open the newly named `.metadata` file and make sure the `dc:type` matches the media it's for. This is the only `dc` field that will need to be updated. Typical names are:

* V and .mp4 for `MovingImage`
* A and .mp3 or .m4a for `Sound`
* T and .pdf or .doc for `Text`

![type of media](https://2941452961-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUgvN1jZPCLML0RXmNAq8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4fa19a4b82c8a1db0d922281d12a444bacb78666%2FRename_Multi_Files_Type.png?alt=media)

Once the `dc:type` matches the media file type, **Save As**

![save as screen](https://2941452961-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUgvN1jZPCLML0RXmNAq8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3187f09c72314bb58376777271964813e254cf2d%2FRename_Multi_Files_SaveAs.png?alt=media)

Rename the file (typical examples above). Oxygen Editor will add `.xml` after the `.metadata` so make sure to delete `.xml` as this speeds up the Ingest process in Preservica.

If there's one (1) Audio, one (1) Video, and one (1) Transcript media, there should be three (3) metadata files, totalling six (6) files.

Continue through the list of transformed `.xml` files from the `.xsl` using this method.
