  • ChatGPT's answer solved this issue for me. Although I wish there was an automatic alternative that didn't require the user to mark each media as either single or multiple file.
  • > To make the distinction between single file media and multiple file media in your database, you could add a new column to the media table called is_single_file, which is a boolean column that indicates whether the media is a single file or not.

  • > For example, you could add the following column to the media table:
  • > ```
  • > "is_single_file" integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 1

  • > Then, when you insert a new row into the media table, you can set the is_single_file column to 1 if the media is a single file, and 0 if it is a multiple file media.

  • > Once you have this column in place, you can use it to filter the media table when you are displaying links to see the metadata for single file media. For example, you could use a query like the following to get all the single file media in a collection:
  • > ```
  • > SELECT * FROM media
  • > WHERE collection_uuid = :collection_uuid AND is_single_file = 1
