Enable custom poster uploads for all resource types
In the same way we can add an image attachment to replace the default resource thumbnail that appears in the reader, it would be great to be able to have the same ability to customize a resource's poster in the collection slideshow, which could also (maybe) display on the resource's landing page.
We could make use of the thumbnail variant for non-image/video attachments in the slideshow. It might require thinking a little about how the slideshow displays them though.
We show images/videos because that's what the actual resource is, but with downloadable ones, it's just a cover image and not necessarily representative of the resource itself.
