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
