Use bitstream description instead of file name in item view if present #2103
Comments
I would argue it's a bug instead of a new feature. If we are no longer leveraging/using bitstream descriptions in a case where we were in the past, it's a bug/regression and not a new feature. Can confirm that I recently saw the exact same behaviour, where we tried to modify the displayed bitstream name by adding a description but where that didn't seem to have any effect. |
We should show the bitsream description instead of the file name if it is present. This is how DSpace XMLUI has been showing bitstreams already for many years. Fixes: DSpace#2103
We should show the bitstream description instead of the file name in the simple item view if it is present. This is how DSpace XMLUI has behaved at least for many years. Fixes: DSpace#2103

I just realized that the description is used on the full item page: So this should be very easy to fix in the simple item view. I've submitted #2108 to fix this. Please take a look, as I'm new to Angluar. Thanks! |
Moving this to the 7.6 board in case we can find a volunteer. As discussed in #2108 comments, I think the solution here needs to include both the description and the filename, as both were discoverable in 6.x. So, simply replacing the filename with the description doesn't seem like a full solution. See this comment for more details: #2108 (comment) In any case, needs a volunteer |
Closing as this seems to be a preference of some sites based on past XMLUI behavior, but has the drawback that the file name/type is not visible when hovering over the link. It is very easy to create a themed file-section component to add these changes. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As of DSpace 7.5-SNAPSHOT the item view still uses the file name for bitstreams in the item view.
Describe the solution you'd like
In DSpace 4/5/6 the XMLUI would opportunistically use the bitstream description instead if it was present. This is very useful if you have messy file names and want to display something more pleasant. For example:
