DropzoneJs – drag-and-drop file uploads with image previews

Re: DropzoneJs – drag-and-drop file uploads with image previews
#32I was hoping this would let me drop PDF, Word, PowerPoint, etc. files and it would show me thumbnail previews of the contents (rather than just for images). Anyone know of any libraries that implement this kind of functionality? Maybe hacking OpenOffice?
The code is pretty easy to read - shouldn't be hard to add that functionality yourself with the File API. We hacked it quite a bit for what we needed, it's a nice script and the author is responsive for bugs. Thanks enyo!
If you can supply pointers to an open source project which can take arbitrary documents as input and generate thumbnail images from them, I just might implement it myself.

#33They use this at Trovebox, I like it a lot. It would be great if it could give you a list of failed uploads though, it would make them easier to search and investigate.
Correct, our beta uploader uses Dropzone. It'll replace the older plupload version but we've got a few bugs to work out.
Failed upload and duplicate detection notifications in the UI as well as retry are all planned.
