 == Previewing subject locator ==
-Traditional topic panel can view a simple preview for certain subject locator types. At the moment Wandora resolves subject locator's type using URI's file suffix. For example, if the subject locator ends with a file suffix '''jpg''', the URI resolves an JPG image and Wandora views a thumbnail of the image above subject locator field.
+See [[Subject locator previews]].

-Traditional topic panel's simple preview supports file formats and suffixes
-* Images: jpg, gif, jpeg, tif, tiff, bmp, png
-* Audio: aif, wav, au, mid, rmf
-* Documents: pdf
-* Videos
-−
-Finally, if the traditional topic panel doesn't recognize the file formar, it uses Java's JEditorPane to view the subject locator resource. JEditorPane is a very simple HTML viewer without Javascript and CSS support.
-−
-As the thumbnail creation doesn't cover all content types and thumbnail creation requires some extra computing, the thumbnail feature is disabled by default. To enable the thumbnail creation the user can choose menu option '''View > Options > Configure Traditinal topic panel w ... > View subject locators'''.
-−
-Once the preview of an subject locator is visible, the user can right mouse click the preview and can perform some simple operations for the preview or the subject locator.

-Next image views an example of a traditional topic panel with a subject locator preview.
