<p>Did you know that WordPress generates a thumbnail image file when uploading a PDF-file? This works when the PHP Extension imagick and Ghostscript is available! It won’t work with GD library! You know they are present and it’s working, when you upload a PDF-file in the media library and you immediately see a thumbnail of the file. Now that thumbnails are available my plugin hooks into the Gutenberg file-block to automagically inserting that thumbnail right before the file block. Besides that it also provides some more options:</p>
<h3>Plugin Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>a toggle to insert an preview image before the file block</li>
<li>a toggle to link the preview image with the “link to” settings value of the file block</li>
<li>a toggle to link the preview image with itself to the full-size image</li>
<li>a toggle to enable the Lightbox-Effect on the preview image (enable in settings)</li>
<li>a setting to choose the size of the preview image: thumbnail, medium, large</li>
<li>a settings page to define default for image size and <code>show inline embed</code> default value and a <code>height in pixels</code> default value</li>
<li>when activating the plugin, the <code>show inline embed</code> option of the file block gets disabled by default</li>
<li>the preview image link target is based on setting of file-block (<code>open in new tab</code>)</li>
<li>adds new block styles to file block with just a few inline css code</li>
<li>this plugins main goal is to be very lightweight and avoid loading any additional assets and saving DOM performance. It just uses 3 files. </li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin requires imagick and Ghostscript! A good WordPress web hosting has it installed by default.</p>

WordPress File Monitor

Good plugin

Go and install it right away! You have no idea how much time you'd save by doing it NOW!

Best plugin to log, track, and monitor the file changes.

Background:

Earlier, I was using a plugin that contained file monitoring as one of the features. That plugin was heavily bloated with numerous other features that I wouldn't use. Have been looking for a dedicated plugin for files monitoring. This fits my use case perfectly. What's more the author of this plugin, @nicolly, is responsive on the support forum, even though he's not obliged to do so as this is a free plugin. Even my stupid feature request was accepted and fixed the underlying problem in my own workflow.

This is a gem. Currently, switching it in place of the other plugin on all my clients' sites!

Will save your precious time some day!

Does what it says :)
