Hi @RichardTrip

I am admin on a nextcloud instance for the music industry as well.

Yes there is.

You need:

  • The “File actions” - files_scripts app:
App-Id files_scripts
App-Name File actions
Summary Scripting tool which allows administrators to expand the file options menu.
Categories files workflow
Repository GitHub - Raudius/files_scripts: Custom file actions app for Nextcloud
Issue-Tracker Issues · Raudius/files_scripts · GitHub
Admin-Doc. files_scripts/docs/README.md at master · Raudius/files_scripts · GitHub
Appstore File actions - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud
  • php-lua module for your php Version:
    For Debian and Ubuntu like OS: (replace “$version” with the php version, e.g 8.2)

Now you can run embedded lua script wich gives you an enormous power. You can use it to simply invoke shell scripts doing any task you want.
Tasks can be added in the contextmenu/three dots of an object (file or folder)

I use it for anything thinkable and possible. WAV/AIFF to mp3 conversion, Markdown to html/pdf, browsing content of compressed files, mounting images,… you name it!

Piece of Cake! :cake:
You will love it!

Much and good luck,
ernolf
