Cool! Also if you could allow people to upload animated gif files for their resources so that people can see the resource in action. This doesn't apply to every resource, but like if someone coded a new module or something an animated gif showing a glimps of the engine in action would help other users.
Most of the resource types allow previews as a secondary resource, currently, if one is not found, it tries to use the resource itself as well. This is also done for FTI instruments / Packs for audio preview. I am not sure if I added gif to the ones with resources, but I will for all graphics previews, animated gifs are always big sellers haha.
A good example of a preview for a file that is different than the image is this: https://www.nesmakerfiles.com/resource/siks_caveman__cavewomen
The resource is BRGB (ready for import) but the preview shows what the completed sprites would look like after being assembled and pallets applied.
An example of music would be: https://www.nesmakerfiles.com/resource/sunsoft_ftm_template
The resource itself is a blank FTM template, but the preview is an audio file that can be played, its just a REALLY quick song that I threw together using it.
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I will definitely add gif to the preview format for graphic based resources!
