Uploads File Search?

[jarrod]

Continuing my exploration of using Micro.blog as my one and only hosting platform, I’m curious about the possibility of adding a search function to the Uploads page? I host a variety of files on my current site that I end up referencing again and again. With the current setup, it looks like I’d need to page back through history to find an earlier upload. I suppose I could just keep a text file with the direct links, but that only works if I know ahead of time that I’m going to keep referencing an image/video/file.

I like what was suggested here with filtering options in additon to search:

Feature wish with regards to Uploads

Is it possible to add some sort of filtering and/or search on the Uploads page. Eg. show me only images. Or videos. Or other uploads. From 2021. Or October 2019. I had also a feature wish for when I upload an video, micro.blog creates a thumbnail from the video. It would have been nice if the filename before the file extension had been the same on both the video and thumbnail. In my head that would probably make it easier to create a simple Shortcut for generating the html for using the video i…

Yes, we have the photo/video filtering now, but not a search box. What would you want to search on, just anywhere in the URL path, or some other data connected with the upload?

Mostly the URL path I think, since that would include the file’s name. By month or year would probably be handy too.

That makes sense to me. Thanks.
