Thumbnails for Resources which are images #208

Open Aaron-M opened 6 years ago

Aaron-M commented 6 years ago

It would be a nice feature if the 'icon' beside a resource in a dataset could be changed by the uploader to a thumbnail. I am thinking in particular if the resource is an image, then the 'icon' would be very useful if it was a thumbnail of the image. This could also be an automated option, whereby when uploading an image resource there is an option (tick-box) to choose for CKAN to automatically make a scaled down copy of the image and use it as that resources 'icon', OR alternately to manually upload/link to an image to use (within dimension limits...). The later could be useful if automatically scaling of a particular image resulted in a not very good quality thumbnail, so the user could manually make a thumbnail that was useful.

I’m planning to add this feature and I started looking through ways to implement it.
