@rullzer can you release it ?
the max-version was already adjusted in https://github.com/nextcloud/previewgenerator/pull/238
Not any time soon. I'm pretty busy and soon on holidays
Until this is fixed, the following appears to work just fine:
$ sed 's/max-version="21"/max-version="22"/' -i.bak ../nextcloud/apps/previewgenerator/appinfo/info.xml
$ occ app:enable previewgenerator
Is just did that and the message in the update says there are still updates missing for preview generator
Is there something else that needs to be run
It seems to work for me by simply installing it as unsupported (based on the info that the codebase is prepared for 22 and it's simply a max-version issue).
I thought it was fixed, but I still get App "Preview Generator" cannot be installed because it is not compatible with this version of the server. If it is installed with the following command it will work sudo -u www-data php occ app:enable previewgenerator --force
Ckujau solution works, but the integrity check fails so that is a separate thing totally just thought it should be mentioned
nvm what I've written. It works when force enable it
I'm running NC on docker and the owner of the files/folders is "abc" instead of "www-data" When I bash into the container, I'm logged as root.
Can I edit the info.xml (to change the "max-version") as root, or do I need to do it as abc???
After editing it, will it assume the changes with a restart of the container or do I need to reinstall the app?
thanks for any info
@rullzer can you release it? People is opening duplicated bugs: #250 #240, and lots of people is waiting for this release to upgrade Nextcloud to 22
Thanks in advance!!!
I don't maintain this app anymore.
the last PR that was merged did @MorrisJobke, maybe he can help.
I'm also not anymore with the project - sorry.
Does someone else from @nextcloud feels responsible for this project? Because it's in the nextcloud/ group...
@kesselb are you able to help?

Doesn´t look like. Great if you want to update to a new major release of NC but you´re stuck because of that one last important app... which seems to be unmaintained furthermore. 😢
I had no problems when I disregarded the warning and installed anyway on version 22.

Of course you can just update NC. But did you check preview generator is actually working after the update?

I did that also and ignored the message and it seems that it is Not working. Planning on downgrading to 21 because of this. I have alot of photo’s and i get annoyed by loading them everytime what this app was designed to “fix”
@rullzer @MorrisJobke
Sorry firstly for dragging any one back in, I understand you have stopped supporting this app and wish to move on.
However, could you please consider just smashing this into a release so that we can at the least, use this great app (easily) one more version? I know you can make a release in about 3 clicks, so I hope this is something you could just 'get it over with' for us
I would be greatly appreciative if you could, and I believe a lot of users share that feeling.
If not, thanks for making this app in the first place and have a good day forward :) Of zoals we wel zeggen, success verder
That’s not possible for both of us as we both don’t have the keys to sign the release anymore.
This app is really essential when storing images in Nextcloud. If this app is not supported anymore, it more or less renders the whole gallery app unusable for many users. That would be a huge drawback!
Also, this is (or was?) an "official" app, right? If it's unmaintained now, i think it would be really important to communicate that change (maybe even in your blog) so that people can look for other solutions storing images.
For those that have the capability of doing manual installations, I have quickly forked the latest and pushed it as a release, including the latest update.
https://github.com/nssatlantis/previewgenerator/releases/tag/v3.1.2
Comes as-is, 0 support, no credits to me in any way shape or form as I literally just hit 'create release' in the hopes this will work. If it doesn't work, I will remove the fork and that'll be that.
Also not tested for functionality, which I will be doing in the next few hours as a flu is grasping on for dear life.
AFAIK it was never an official app. Where does this info come from? It is an app from a community person that was back in the time also employed by the company but that doesn’t made it official.

Well, at least it's hosted in the Nextcloud group on GitHub. However, when this app will not be longer available, this would be a huge drawback.
@skjnldsv Any chance to integrate this directly into the photos app?
That it's in the org does not mean that it's official. Yes - sounds weird as most other orgs do it the other way around.
Maybe @jospoortvliet can explain it why it's that way.
This issue is simple to fix as explained earlier. I love this app it makes previews just as it is supposed to but if no one is maintaining it anymore then that is that problem solved remove the preview generator

Can you please link that simple fix please? So everyone wondering why this issue has been closed can fix it on their own. Thanks.

Appinfo.xml change maxversion to 22, then it can be installed ans should work :)
That works for almost every app, right. BUT does it actually work with new major version? There are reports stating previews aren't generated on NC v22.

The latest Pull Request stated it had been tested and seemed to work, unfortunately that is where my skills end for the time being. If there are any errors or warnings I could take a look and see what I can do, but it all depends on the situation
My impression is that the preview generator doesn't properly work in NC 22 release. The "generate-all" initially seems to work, but I have some doubt with the "pre-generate" cron task.

Could you check this? Should be easy to test if previews are actually generated.

- Upload new images
- Wait for preview generator cron or run it manually
- Check if new content is created in
/nextcloud-data-directory/appdata_ocXXXXXXXXXX/preview

Running NC on docker with 2 cronjobs 2x a day (files:scan-all && previewgenerator:pre-generate) I've updated to NC22 sometime ago (having changed the appinfo.xml before) and can say that it's still working as it should: `2021-10-15T22:43:47.848431858Z 2021-10-15T22:43:47+00:00 Generating previews for /xxxxx/files/Asus Phone/2021/10/IMG_20211015_150646.jpg

Just to chip in. I already had it installed, and it did not work. Went in, and changed the Appinfo.xml to 22 --which you could do if you download, unpack, change the value, repack, and install. Ran it in terminal. No problems. It is currently running.

Hopefully Nextcloud will fix the annoying initial problem now, because this fix isn't available anymore. Many users can't do it themselves.
Sorry, folks, being in the Nextcloud group means it is community maintained. That means, if an app goes unmaintained, we can hand over maintainership to whomever steps up and wants to do it, instead of forcing a fork of the app.
That sometimes a company employee is involved doesn't really mean anything unless you have a contract with us, we can't make any promises to anyone except our customers. Of course, if something is supported for customers - given we largely work in the open, it is usually supported in public. This app isn't supported for any customer - so we have no employee working on it.
However @nssatlantis already worked on it and I'd propose they become the maintainer - and anyone else can of course help.
Makes sense, but there just needs to be a better way to document which apps have gone unmaintained over time. Any method that allows potential maintainers to get this sort of info would be really helpful! Currently attempting to track it on the forum, but this process is super tedious when having to hand write and search for every app from version to version. Perhaps a Github tag such as "Needs Maintainer" would prove helpful!
App "Preview Generator" cannot be installed because it is not compatible with this version of the server.
