FileIconPreview enhances the visual display of non-image files (e.g. ZIP, PDF, DOCX) in Omeka Classic by showing custom icons based on file extension.
NB : I shared the first working version to my use case, this is definitely not a complete work.
- Automatically displays a 200×200 square icon box for non-image files.
- Uses file-specific icons from a
/resources/icons/folder (e.g.zip.png,pdf.png). - Falls back to a default icon (
default.png) if no specific match is found. - Clean, centered layout with consistent styling alongside image previews.
- Includes debug logging to
debug.logfor easy troubleshooting.
- Place the plugin folder
FileIconPreviewin your/pluginsdirectory. - Add your icons in
FileIconPreview/resources/icons/(e.g.pdf.png,docx.png,default.png). - Activate the plugin from the Omeka admin panel.
- Recommended size: 100×100 px (they’ll be centered in a 200×200 box)
- Format: PNG
- Image files (JPG, PNG, etc.) are not affected and will continue to display normally.
- For best results, align icon naming with file extensions (e.g.
pptx.pngfor.pptxfiles).
