Show all files associated to a conversation (Shared items tab)

[makayabou]

Hello,
it's wonderfull to attach files to conversations, but I would like to have a list of all shared files in the right panel.
Nextcloud Talk could centralize people working on a project, inside a conversation.
Thank you

This is essentially done with Projects - if we add all files shared into a chat to the project(s) associated to it.

I think it makes sense to do that...

What it looks like:

@nickvergessen do you also think it makes sense to do that?

Im not sure automatically doing that makes sense. The problem is once we have upload, you will have tones of files linked with a single room. At the same time when you upload a file, how should we know to which project to add the files when the room is linked to multiple?
But I agree we need an overview on all files, maybe also links, that were mentioned in a room. Just not sure if automatic projects are the best way.

Mja, you're right - one often shares files just for fun, files of little importance. Perhaps the projects are better manually managed... Don't want to let all cat pictures shared during a boring project meeting become part of the project. Ok, I take my idea back, it doesn't work. And I thought I was so clever 🙄

Bonus points for being able to jump to the Chat position form the files/media list
