Recognised file types for image preview?

89 Views Asked by At

Is it possible to add additional file types to be recognised as images and thus trigger automatic creation of an image view when a resource is uploaded?

SVG files will preview in CKAN, but we have to manually add the image view e.g. https://datastore.landcareresearch.co.nz/dataset/novel-yeasts-from-new-zealand-forests/resource/3812ee6b-dd45-45c9-b425-6a18375e5727

With text (for example) we can specify file format extensions to recognise as text and automatically create a text preview (ckan.preview.text_formats...). Is there an equivalent for images?

Thanks

It would only be possible by modifying the source code for your instance: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/master/ckanext/imageview/plugin.py#L9

Seems like a great idea to have the image view on a par with the text view in this regard, so I made a pull request: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/3380
