Title: Importing directory structure with other (non-image) file types
Post by: Michael Z Freeman on October 14, 2016, 07:23:50 pm

Hi,

I want to use Coppermine to import a directory structure that includes non-image file types, videos, pdf's and especially HTML pages. I know some plugins do PDF and video but I can't see anything that does HTML thumbnailing. Default install of CM does not allow HTML file type.

Should I be using CM for this kind of thing (lots of non-image file types) or is there something out there more appropriate for that ?

What about the plugin API ? I did make an OS file manager HTML thumbnailer (https://djbarney.wordpress.com/2013/11/09/adding-a-custom-www-thumbnailer-to-the-mate-caja-filebrowser-in-linux/) in Linux using PhantomJS (http://phantomjs.org). How easy would it be to add a file type like that ?

Thanks for CM and any help !
