Dear Perchance Dev,

I would like to make a request to be able to format the files’ links and names at /upload.

Currently, it displays them as: ${file_name} → ${file_url} (${file_size}) 📋 copy url ❌ delete however, I need to be able to format them as: ${file_name} /* without the extension */ = ${file_url} /* including 'https://' */.

The reason for this is because of the new custom emoji feature at the comment’s plugin.

I could have made this suggestion sooner, but I did not because I had my own method to format them, however I know there are many people who will be needing this formatting method. That is because of this:

As you can see, I have an absurd amount of links, and formatting them one by one would not be efficient.

For that reason, I would like a formatting method at /upload.

  • EDIT: I believe the most flexible and powerful formatting options would be to take user input formatting in a text manner, for example a user could input; ${file_url} which would only display the URL. And this could be curated to their own needs.

    Thanks! Done. Let me know if you have any troubles with it. (Also, I haven’t forgotten about your other suggestions - e.g. AI bots/characters that live in your comments box, but please feel free to ping the threads once a week or so to keep it moving up my todo list - same goes for you @Alllo@lemmy.world, @AdComfortable1514@lemmy.world, and others. I’ve been keeping up with reading your suggestions here - I’m just slow on replies as usual. Pings on old threads that I haven’t got to yet are very welcome.)
