Images for Cards

[ttytm]

Images tell more then thousand words. I would love to have the possibility to add an image to my cards that is displayed with the card on the board. It would make it more attractive and easier to get an overview for my users.

Here is a Screenshot how it could look.

best regards,
Toby

cc @jakobroehrl Since we talked about this already.

The main concern that is currently blocking such a limitation is, that we don't have any preview generation with our current way of storing the files in appdata. So either we need to wait for #564 or add some additional logic to generate previews for appdata files, but I would definitely prefer the first.

oh i see. Looks like 564 is a big one for some issues. Unfortunately i'm missing the knowledge to offer some good help :/

[juliushaertl]

Yes, we plan to tackle #564 after our vue migration (1.0 release) is finished, but no ETA for that yet.

Hi, sorry for the necroposting, but is this being worked on?

[ArtyRivera]

Checking back in on this item -- still a popular request from my team, which is how I found this post. Curious if there's an ETA on this and/or if there's any way I or my team could help to contribute to this?

I also think this could be a great enhancement of the card view, in brief, a thumbnail of the first attached file.
Isn't there a way to put a feature request on it, it seems so obvious?

Edit: an incomplete workaround I didn't know is to insert an image as attachement of the description of the card, so when clicking the card, an image is visible in the first tab of the detailed view... and in the attachement folder, clicking this linked image brings the the concerned gallery slideshow, very useful for me.

There also has been some work started in #2858 already, but discontinued due to lack of time. Anyone interested can of course pick this up again.

I would like to revive this discussion as I really like the CoverImge feature from the mobile app.
Above you can find a draft of a possible/ simpler implementation I did a while ago for my own nextcloud setup and just ported and improved slightly to work with stable26.

My goal with this draft PR would be to collect feedback and bepending on that, maybe improve/ complete my imprementation to a proper PR.

Would love to hear your thought of my code.

Hi,
I don't know how to test.
For the code itself, I think I don't have the level to juge it.
I'm happy to know you work on it
