Thanks for your insight Dear Joachim. I would appreciate if you would consider this as a feature addition request. I'm sorry, I must have been dreaming, but I'm afraid the following feature has become a "must-have" feature for some people.
- Support for download/play different kinds of media types.
For example: everytime the same video titles in different formats are uploaded, Coppermine shows only one thumbnail for all video files:
videotitle.ram
videotitle.wmv
videotitle.mov
All those files share the same thumbnail: thumb_videotitle.jpg
There should also an option at the control panel, whether to "play" or to "download" files. If the "play" option is checked, beneath the thumbnail there should be corresponding text/buttons/icons for the media types available ("Play Real Video," "Play Windows Media," "Play Quicktime"). Consequently, if the "download" option is checked, the corresponding "Download Real Video", "Download QuickTime" text/icons should appear beneath the thumbnail.
This feature should also works with audio files in different formats. For regular pictures which only have full-size JPG/GIF/PNG pictures, (as an option) "download full-size image" should appear beneath the thumbnails.
For users who use Coppermine only to display pictures and need no multimedia capability, this feature can be turned off from the control panel.
