Whenever a file is uploaded to fylr, preview versions are generated. This article describes the options for the configuration of preview versions. |
If this checkbox is enabled, the default versions are used. This includes:
| FILE TYPE | VERSION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
If you want to use other versions, you have to disable the checkbox and then you'll be able to define your own set of preview versions. You can always go back to the default versions by enabling the checkbox. Your settings for the custom versions will not be overwritten, so you can also go back to your custom versions at any time.
{% hint style="warning" %} Please note: when changing version settings, these changes are only applied for newly uploaded files, already existing preview versions are not updated automatically. You have to go to /inspect/files and start a re-sync. {% endhint %}
Enable this checkbox, if you want to allow the upload of files with extensions not explicitly listed below. Otherwise these unknown or not supported file types are declined during the upload process.
Set the maximum file size allowed for all uploads (for example: 500MB, 2GB). This value determines the upper limit on the size of each individual file that can be uploaded to the system. Make sure to consider user needs and system capabilities when configuring this setting.
For each file class (Audio, Image, Office & Video) the allowed file types can be (de-)activated. Only for activated extensions the upload is allowed and preview versions are generated. The allowed maximum file size for uploads can be set here again and overwrite the value defined above.
All configured versions are shown in a table with their most important details. Hover over a version and click the little pencil button to edit the version settings (see below) or select a version and click the minus button on the bottom of the table to delete the version. You can add new versions by clicking on the plus button.
If enabled, the original file won't be saved in fylr. Instead it will be replaced by the biggest version.
Internal name of the version.

| Rights Management | If enabled, the version can be used in the permissions for pools etc. Otherwise the version is always accessible to all users. |
