Re: Edit attributes (name, title...) after uploading file in AssetManager

OK, thanks...
I'll go through the code conscientiously.But... to be sure I'm expecting the right behaviour:
Does it only enable the has_one deleting of images
or does it also provide a way to edit the file-attributes from within the dataobject (which is presently my main concern)? -

Well, you won't be editing the attributes directly. The attributes are stored in the DataObject that contains the File. So instead of:
<% control MyFiles %>
$URL $Title $Description
<% end_control %>It will be
<% control MyFileObjects %>
$Title $Description $AltText ... whatever you choose
$File.URL
<% end_control %>So it's the same thing, you're just storing the attributes on a different table, and they can be anything you want.

Thanks, that's what I thought...
I guess I have to re-think my sitestructure.
I was hoping to use the power of the files&images-tab for the main-administrator and some custom uploadforms like subclasses of filefield or the filedataobjectmanager for the regular administrators. But let them both be able to edit at least the copyright-notice (a field added by dataobjectdecorator - since the copyright are quite important when using creative commons-images).Since it seems not to be possible (or quite difficult) to edit the file-data anywhere else than in the files&images-tab, I guess I have to (1) follow you're route, (2) create a custom tab with datamodel and (3) in the mean time close the files&images-tab for all types of administrators.
