NAME

RT::Extension::AttachmentViewer - View full size attachments from the dropzone

DESCRIPTION

By default, when attachments are to be uploaded in RT, the dropzone where they are added shows a thubmbnail. This extension enhances the attachment dropzone in RT by allowing users to click on a file preview to display it in a modal viewer. It supports images, PDFs, audio, HTML, and text files. Other file types are opened using the browser's default behavior.
