Hi,
Kexi can visualize a weblink. So fine.
But what if I want visualize a pdf-file or text about a lokal or internet link?
There is a shortcut button in form to call my extern browser or my mail-program.
Will there be a possibility to visualize pdf within kexi?

Hello Semperlin
For now Web Browser widget is available in KEXI forms as well as Web Browser element in KEXI reports. In theory people can use a web-based PDF rendering service, either offline (file:// protocol) or remote, that displays the PDF inline. This way the only think that is needed to be stored within the KEXI database is URL of each file, e.g. https://example.com/path/to/pdf/1234/. Uploading such files and managing them would belong to external software though.

This can work assuming that the PDF web renderer works with the WebKit-based technology KEXI uses, what needs to be tested, but there is big chance for that.

Cheers
