Hi,
Something I just met - as it's an "improvement" proposal I thought I could
propose it here, but I may just create a jira if you think it's interesting:
Would be great if there could be an option, in Attachments tab at pages
bottom, to display attachments as a grid of thumbnails, instead of just a
list.
The best would be to by default reach current Attachments view, when
clicking on Attachments tab (because it shows fastly), then have a little
flag, button, or whatever, to choose a "thumbnail" view.
This "thumbnail" view, could be the exact same kind of view as proposed by
Attachments Selector Macro [1].
BTW it could be nice that this {{attachmentSelector/}} could be used as (or
could rely on another extension that) merely displays attachments, without
concept of saving the attachment name in a property in an XObject ...
Use-case sample: when you import a .doc document, all
images are set as
attachments with automatic naming. Without thumbnail, it's quite hard then
to retrieve a specific attachment without opening all of them one by one.
There is http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/AttachmentGalleryMacro
.
BR,
Jeremie

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users I have say, upgrading makes me very nervous too..
Have you ever tried using the Distribution Wizard?
so, I'd definitely vote for anything that
changes or enhances that
process. So far, I'm terrified to even try an upgrade
(currently on 5.4)
since my wiki is production and we've done a fair bit of customized
solutions to unique problems (likely not in a "supported" way maybe) .
Well, first nobody should ever upgrade a wiki in production directly! You
should make backups and do the upgrade on a staging server and then only
move the instance to production.
My fear is that some piece of code or settings
will get overwritten
which will break stuff and I won't know where to look to
fix them. 😃
A wizard would be awesome to take the guess work out of it.
err… The Distribution Wizard …. is a... wizard ;)
You should give it a try! We do have some ideas in jira to make it even
better but it’s already quite good in its current state.
As is, I've read some of the tutorials out
there regarding upgrades
several times but I'm not really able to determine the
prescribed steps
using those.
What tutorial? Could you give me the links?
I think at the end of the day I'm going to
end up exporting my solutions
as XAR's and then try importing them into an
upgraded Xwiki environment
too, since it seems easier to me.
The DW is generally a better solution to upgrades.
Thanks
