Please show thumbnails in Attach upload list

[AndyB]

In XF2.1x the Attach upload list displayed a thumbnail for each image attachment. In XF2.2 alpha it's currently not showing the thumbnail and it makes identifying the attached image more difficult.

This is an absolute must.

This is an absolute must.

I haven't seen XF 2.2, but I'd agree seeing the thumbnail is important.

 

[djbaxter]

Agreed.

 

[Donske]

I agree. When you have a forum like mine that is very heavy images/graphics, the thumbnail is of high importance.

This site is running 2.2

I'm seeing it:

Squarish images would appear fine in the thumbnail view.

To be able to see the thumbnails when you upload a couple of images is a must have.
Tried to attach image here (and removed it before posting) and the thumbnail shown was useful..

I agree. If you have an image, for instance, 600x200 or something similar, you get this and it is not useful:




It was much easier to operate with attachments in XF 2.1.

Good to see the thumbnail.

This is really an imperative capability, particularly when working with multiple or large numbers of attachments on a single post, to embed them in the appropriate places in the post, and so forth. My members and I use this ALL. THE. TIME.

Major omission of a highly useful feature -- STRONGLY hope this is remedied for the next beta release.

 

[djbaxter]

Upvote the first post if you want this feature.

 

[dvsDave]

Yes, this is definitely a big UI issue to address. Strongly recommend!

 

[AndyB]

The attachment preview can be improved by adding the follow code to your extra.less template:

// attachment preview

.file-preview img, .file-preview video {
    object-fit: contain;
}

This will ensure the attachment preview is completely visible and makes identifying the attachment easier.

Thanks - this made my day. With the litle css from Andy its much nicer to work with the Thumbnails.
