Visualizing image files in "teacher view" of assignments

Visualizing image files in "teacher view" of assignments

Hi,

It seems that the "teacher view" only allows visualizing PDF.

Is it a problem of configuration?

If not, I strongly suggest that image files should also be shown by the interface, even if commenting on these files would not be possible.
This would improve the grading flow. 

regards,

Hi,
The files that can be converted by the Annotate PDF tool are determined by the capabilities of the document converter - which file types can be converted by it to PDF.

Site administration -> Plugins -> Document converters -> Manage document converters

You can see the file types supported there.

Thanks!

Exactly the information i needed to push to the system admin.

P.S. I've been trying to find the configuration documentation but failed until now. Could you point me to it?

Thanks again.

Serge.

Hi Serge,
The problem is that Unoconv can handle some image files, but it is regarded as a not so great document converter. I guess most people use Google Driver converter, but it doesn't support converting images to pdf.

https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Google_Drive_converter

And you would find a lot of threads in the forums about these converters.

Also, check this recent article for more info about these converters and also others:
