Mark a galley/file as main/primary/fulltext

Feature Requests
1

Describe the problem you would like to solve
Our journal managers want a way to mark an galley/file as fulltext/primary/main to make it obvious to the readers and useable in exported metadata files like RIS where you can only have one file linked.

Describe the solution you’d like
Just one checkbox in the file/galley metadata to mark it as fulltext/primary/main.

Who is asking for this feature?
The managers of our different journals asked us to ask it here.

Have you considered selecting the galleys based on the file genre they represent?

You can either get the primary genres like this ojs/ArticleHandler.php at main · pkp/ojs · GitHub and then compare those genres (probably in many cases one genre) to the galleys in a specific submission.

Or you can probably fetch the id of the Genre with the type SUBMISSION and use that for comparing. For example texture/TextureArticleGalleyForm.inc.php at main · pkp/texture · GitHub

Thank you for your suggestion.

I did consider this option but sadly almost all files are in the submission genre.

But that gives me an idea:
Maybe creating a genre just for the fulltext would suffice. I’ll talk with my journal managers about that.
