View-Page for at least PDFs in Softr DB when clicking on file in an App

It would be nice to have the ability to view a pdf for example instead of directly download the file when you click on it.

In my Softr DB App a PDF will be directly downloaded. In the other app (Airtable) the File will opened in an Airtable Link where i can choose if I want to download or print it.

Such a feature would be nice for SoftrDB.

@Jjenglert is that something the team will maybe think about? :slight_smile:

Yup, it’s a work in progress. Will also be included with a record detail view.

Hey @Jjenglert I’ll maybe get a use case for this in some weeks. Do you know when this maybe will be included? Thank you :slight_smile: Just for me to calculate when I could start with it.

I don’t have a timeline on this one yet, unfortunately. I’ll check in and see what I can find out though.

Thank you! @Jjenglert

No timeline yet. Something we expect to do in this quarter some time.

@Jjenglert it seems the team has solved this? Because now it opens Files like this.

Yup! Thanks for reporting back!

Hey, in this case I’m not able to open the PDF in Preivewmode. In the app it’ll be also directly downloaded not opened

Noticed, that when I manual upload a file to SoftrDB this don’t is happening, just when the file comes from Make.com in my case.

So is this feature delivered or no? I have some pages in my app that the PDF opens in a new window and all of the others just download.
