Notes

Preview or Viewer

  • modal punted for 7.1
  • a lot of conversation around the viewer inside of a work
    • problematic for nested works
  • can be browser specific
  • hard to give options for preview versus download
  • would like to give people direct access as much as possible
  • preview works well when dealing with one file
  • what happens when you have 10 files?
  • some not satisfied with size of page preview. can see this as an issue for some
  • slideshow is cool but a lot of work and some issues
    • can't reorder
    • designate representative image as a work
    • thumbnail and download
  • problematic for other devices like mobile
  • preview is good for "common" file formats
  • would like to keep it closer to Sufia 6 w/thumbnail
  • provide more flexibility for later
    • don't go big with thumb only to go back to small
  • various files in a work. how do you get all of those things into a viewer?
  • keep it simple and straight
  • consistent throughout
  • how do you access the preview for the other items in a work?
    • use the arrows and move across?
  • why would we not have a thumbnail for a work with multi items?
  • why force a file to be the representative item when it is a child?
  • letting user pick representative image for a work is out-of-scope
  • keep every work page consistent
  • thumb consistent
  • regardless of how many works keep it consistent

File Show Page

  • punt for 7.1?
  • discussion around what data is part of the file show
    • technical metadata
    • some descriptive metadata
    • some push for the file show page
    • what happens with SEO
      • analytics should go to the work
      • how do we track things
      • usher people to the work page
      • promote the work

Blacklight

  • what options are configurable
  • is it flexible to really customize
  • need to be mindful of it out-of-the-box
