Azurestorageexplorer: File preview esp. for pictures

Created on 12 Dec 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer

We are collecting loads of images from IoT cameras and store them in Azure Blob containers. Sometimes we need to look at the images when working with the files. A feature which lets us preview images (or even other filetypes) would significantly improve productivity. Similar to what Windows Explorer has.

this is definitely a blocking issue for us the relevant file types that would be useful to preview are:

  • txt (CSV | TSV)
  • parquet
  • avro
  • json
  • orc

it would be great if the preview pane could render the first 100 row in a grid viewer

I know the Hadoop FS Explorer preview feature, it allows to view the head or tail of a file, would be helpful here as well.
