14:19	dataverse-user	Hi, I was just wondering if the Dataverse developers have file visualization in their plan for near future. It would be a great feature added to Dataverse if users can also get a visualization of their files specially if they are in daily used formats such as “PDF” or “PPT”. Any information on this is appreciated.
14:21	pdurbin	dataverse-user: hi! Dataverse already creates thumbnails and preview images from PDFs. Does that help?
14:21	dataverse-user	Yes, I know that feature already
14:21	dataverse-user	I am thinking if it would allow the users to view the ppt or Pdf file through the web app
14:22	pdurbin	Rather than downloading it.
14:22	dataverse-user	This way the users do not have to download the file to get a view of it, so
14:22	dataverse-user	yes
14:22	pdurbin	dataverse-user: good idea. Can you please create an issue at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues ?

17:27	pdurbin	Oh good, that person kicked of a thread on the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/yhaiZkEKn74/4HU2C-kqAAAJ
18:06	pameyer	PDF and PPT aren't things I'd normally think of storing in a data repository though
18:07	pdurbin	yeah

20:11	pdurbin	pameyer: I'm messing Solr init scripts if you're interested: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/commit/41a7ea9
20:11	pdurbin	messing with*
20:12	pdurbin	standardizing on a Solr directory, etc
20:12	pameyer	pdurbin: cool - I'll take a look
20:12	pdurbin	thanks
20:19	pdurbin	The new thing is that I think I got the systemd script working.
20:19	pdurbin	But I still document the init.d script.
20:28		pameyer58 joined #dataverse
20:55	pameyer58	systemd stuff looks workable to me - haven't tried it yet; but if you did it'll probably work for me
21:12	pdurbin	thanks for looking
