Preview Plugin: Ability to manage files #3220

Open samuel-kerrien opened 2 years ago

Description Currently the plugin only shows files that are already linked to a KG Resource. Let's add the ability for a user to manage files:

upload of new files and automatic linking to underlying resource
removal of existing files.

This task includes the design of the UI update and validation prior to implementing.

TODO

discuss whether images should be presented in this plugin considering that the Image Plugin already does it.

@samuel-kerrien Uploading files to the preview plugin would require us to show this functionality even if there are no files attached to the resource. How would this affect other resources without files attached? should all resources show the preview plugin? if not, which ones should we limit? If we follow this process for other plugins, would we be showing all plugins always?

@samuel-kerrien @smitfire I strongly recommend to regroup the preview and image plugin into a file plugin which will display a list of items that can be either an image (PNG, JPEG, GIF) and other files (PDF, SWC, NWB, etc). Look at this card for more details: https://github.com/BlueBrain/nexus/issues/3172
