Create previews / thumbnails

[stehajo]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

Pictures, especially larges ones in result-lists, can take quite some time to build-up when they are large in size. Often times the API times out.

What is the solution you are proposing?

I would like to have thumbnails of pictures created on upload and saved to a specific directory, apart from the document-directory. When presenting the pictures in a search-result-list, the thumbnails should be used. The same for the details - or edit page of an item. When clicking on a specific picture, the full-blown picture should be presented, be it in the context of the result-list of a search or in item-pages.

What alternatives have you considered?

As an alternative one could tweak the timeout in the configuration-parameter as shown in the documentation at ConfigDocu. The parameter that does the trick is HBOX_WEB_WRITE_TIMEOUT

Additional context

Being not a software-developer myself, I can not maintain or implement the feature myself. Sorry for that.
