Originally created by @bobemoe on GitHub (Dec 2, 2020).

In older versions of Gitea (1.11) there was image thumbnail/preview for attachments. My team found it really useful and since it's been removed in later version (1.12) (by PR #6089 ?) we really miss it! Any chance of seeing it re-implemented?

Gitea 1.11.8

Gitea 1.12.6

But not all attachments are images? How to handle non-images? We change that because it's ugly for non-images.
Hm, for non-images, we can generate an alphabet image automatically.

Maybe something similar to what happens if I click to edit the comment? I've attached a zip too to my example to demonstrate a non-image.

Here we have this list of filename and filesize which, and also thumbnails.

So all files would be in the list, and image files would also have a thumbnail in a separate panel?

So **all** files would be in the list, and image files would also have a thumbnail in a separate panel?
