Re: File already exists error message
Hi adi, I was simply thinking along the lines of an extra file custom field (e.g. before the description textarea) where I can add the image ID# of an image to be displayed alongside the file download, plus a corresponding txp:tag to output that field.
Use case: I’d like to show the covers of documents available for download so that people have a visual indication of which file it is. For the moment I was envisaging prepping and adding the image manually to the image tab. I have seen that google doc’s previewer can return a jpg of a pdf page:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=bi&pagenumber=1&url=http://www.domain.com/path/to/myfile.pdf but in tests it wasn’t always consistent and the file it produces is generally large – plus it doesn’t handle all file types (e.g. docs/docx only sometimes). Perhaps there are other pdf-to-jpg/png libraries out there, I’m not sure.

That aligns pretty much with what I had written down. Will have a look at implementing it … at some stage.
