How to view or download binary files in the Fossil repo using the web ui?

25 views Asked by At

It is possible to view images (at least JPEG) while browsing Files in fossil ui, but I could not find a way to view or download other binary files, such as pdf and other popular formats. Is there a magic switch somewhere? Is it possible at all?

Of binary files, I think only images can be viewed via the web UI by default. If you know how to display a certain type of file in a browser (like, say, PDFs using pdf.js), you could adapt the skin to add this using Javascript.

All files in the repository can be downloaded, whether they’re binary or not: just use the ‘Download’ button at the top of the artifact page.
