smurfyrecords Do you think such an enhancement of the files gallery would make sense also for you?
Yes it makes sense, as it's used by other platforms, and it would not be too difficult to implement. I would probably need to figure out a few things, as it might not be useful to simply replace the filename, as that might be used to identify the file.
- Grid layout modes could display either file description or file name, but not both (text is limited to one line).
- List layout modes (list, imagelist, blocks), could find room for both file name and file description.
- Popup and Modal (when clicking an image or file) could probably display both file name and file description.
Another thing I may need to consider at some point, is that I was planning on implementing our own system (CMS) for storing data about files. The purpose of this would not only be for adding a single "description" (like in the case of descript.ion file), but also allow other per-file options like link, visible as well as options specific to the containing folder (login, sort order, folder description etc). In this case, it would have to be JSON
format.
But I could definitely consider support for descript.ion file, regardless.
QUESTION: Do you create the descript.ion file manually? Or is there some tool to add text per file?
