PDF Thumbnails in File Explorer

[John]

It's cool you can see image thumbnails but is it possible to preview pdf file thumbnails too?

also,  how do I intercept the file open or double click to create my own action for other files?

Hi John, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

Query 1: you can see image thumbnails but is it possible to preview pdf file thumbnails too? 

 

Currently, we don’t have direct support to show PDF file content as thumbnails like image file in Blazor File Manager. However, we are validating internally to consider this as a feature. We will update you further details on December 2, 2021. 

 

Query 2:  how do I intercept the file open or double click to create my own action for other files? 

 

We have addressed similar query in the below forum. Please refer to the following link and let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi John, 

  

Thanks for your patience.  

  

We have validated the requirement to show thumbnail preview for PDF files and considered it as a feature in File Manager component. This feature will be included in any of our upcoming releases.  

  

At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features. Usually, Syncfusion will plan and implement the features based on feature rank, customer requested count and volume wish-list.  

  

The status of implementation can be tracked through the below portal link:

If you have any more specifications/suggestions for the feature request, you can add them as a comment in the portal. 

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
