Display iRODS AVUs in gallery #47

Open ll4strw opened 2 months ago

ll4strw commented 2 months ago

I propose the following feature for iRODS filestores. In the nfsFileTreePanel, each file record in the tree should give a user the possibility of reading its metadata (AVUs) prior to any download operations. This is necessary to prevent download of (large) unwanted iRODS data objects. In other words, a user will be able to glance at metadata before deciding to download an object.

In the figure above, I added a clickable item called Meta for each data object in the iRODS filestore. Meta will toggle a list of AVUs (if any) for its corresponding object.

Do you guys find this feature useful?

I have a proof-of-concept for this which I will submit as a PR.

thanks for the suggestion and the POC. We're in the process of updating the RSpace Gallery, which will include revising how we display object metadata. Stay tuned! We'll share more information soon.
