Extensions wishlist
- A working version of MultiUploadViaZip that also accepts 7z files.
- Not quite the same, but a nice alternative to uploading multiple files without UploadLocal? - Scarred Sun (talk) 07:51, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
- It doesn't have the benefit of compression, but could be useful nonetheless. - Hivebrain (talk) 21:56, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
- Extension:MultiUpload might work. - Hivebrain (talk) 14:33, 22 November 2019 (EST)
- It doesn't have the benefit of compression, but could be useful nonetheless. - Hivebrain (talk) 21:56, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
- OBJ or some other 3D object viewer (with PNG thumbnails). Maybe 3DAlloy. Something that supports textured models would be better (for example, loading the model and texture files from a single zip file).
- Something that can read bytes from uploaded files.
- Something that can view the contents of zip/7z files ("ZipHandler").
- I'm imagining the file page for a zip contains a list of all its files, each of which has its own file page and can be viewed/downloaded individually (e.g. "File:Zipfile.zip/Anotherfile.bin").
- Sync looks like a good way to share templates between wikis. From what I can tell it would only needed to be installed on Retro CDN.
- External Data so we can share info stored in Cargo tables.
- PSD thumbnails. PSDs contain layer information that gets lost when converted and uploaded as PNGs. Maybe thumbnails for other formats too, such as TIF. PagedTiffHandler would work.
- RTF/DOC/DOCX/PPT thumbnails.
- Something to bulk copy files from here to Retro CDN (by category for example).
- Something to bulk delete pages/files (by category for example). Extension:DeleteBatch might be good if it works on files.
- FileImporter and FileExporter
- More video formats for TimedMediaHandler: MKV, AVI, FLV etc.
Shortlist

Portable programs needed

Problem emulators
- A-Saturn - needs a BIOS file I can't find
- Xe - needs GTK+
- Daphne - needs some kind of video files
- Looking up "Daphne for dummies" may be a pleasure
- Makaron - seems to require Xbox 360 controller
- To use a keyboard: change "X360PAD.dll" to "MakaronKEY.dll", under "[PortA]" in "Maple.ini"
- Gearsystem - missing component
- SSE - doesn't detect BIOS
- Retrocade - couldn't get it to detect roms
- Virtua - uses nonstandard rom set
