Storage Manager

Description of the limitation and why it is relevant to address

As a user or developer I would like to inspect, download, and remove files saved in storage. I often save files to storage but there’s no easy way to see what’s there already.

I think this is relevant for the VIKTOR platform because at the moment there’s no easy insight of what is happening in storage.

Submitter proposed design (optional)

None

Current workarounds

Currently, I have to build a storage manager for each application.

Thanks for the request Janez, could you elaborate a bit more on what you would like this manager to be?

  • What information should be shown?
  • What actions should you be able to perform?

Hi Matthijs,

What information should be shown:

  • Select either workspace or entity
  • See all the related files of either workspace or entity
  • Perhaps see all the related files of the children entities as well

What actions should you be able to perform:

  • Download file or multiple files
  • Delete file or multiple files
  • Upload file or multiple files

A typical use case is being able to clear storage on a new update (e.g. a bugfix) when the results in storage are not correct anymore.
