Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The Viewer can take a bit of time to open, as it loads the files before showing anything.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • We could show the UI before having the file loaded (darken the view faster) as the loader icon is not really visible.
  • We could also use a smaller version of the file if it is available. Maybe by passing an element or a size to use.

    Thank you for the suggestion and for taking the time to report it.

    The Nextcloud Viewer is no longer developed as a standalone app. Its code has moved to the @nextcloud/viewer library, which is now maintained at https://github.com/nextcloud-libraries/nextcloud-viewer. Because of this, we will not add any further enhancements to this repository and are closing open feature requests here.

    If you are still interested in this feature, please open a new feature request in the library repository:
    https://github.com/nextcloud-libraries/nextcloud-viewer/issues/new/choose

    Feel free to link back to this issue so the existing discussion is not lost.
