Visualization of audio, video, and other files in the gallery

What is the general goal of the feature?
To enable admins to visualize all attachments in one location. At the moment, photos can be viewed in the gallery, while audio and video files must be found in the data table and opened in a separate window, and other files must be downloaded.

Can you sketch out graphically how you think this should look/work in practice?
All files would be present in the Gallery. Photos would look like they currently are; videos would have a thumbnail and play icon, and could be played directly in the Gallery; audio recordings would be represented by mic icon and could also be played directly in the Gallery; and other types of files would be represented by a document icon, could be either downloaded or if possible visualized (in a PDF viewer for example)

How useful would this feature be to other users or organizations?
Extremely; it would greatly increase the value of the attachments.

What can you contribute to making this feature a reality?
Feedback, UI, testing

Hi @raph,

Kindly please be informed that this feature is now available with KoBoToolbox and users are able to view their audio, video and image data in the DATA>Table. Besides, if users click the audio, video or image data it gets opened in a new windows tab.

Thank you once again for making this features request. Expecting the same innovative suggestions in the upcoming days as well.

Have a great day!

Hi @Kal_Lam, thank you for the note. It’s exciting to see the links to the media in the data table!

However, this feature suggestion was to show all the files in the Gallery, so that users can browse directly through all the files that have been attached to the forms without navigating through each form or through the data table,

Hi @raph,

Do you mean you wish to see the audio, video and image under the DATA>Gallery?
