[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #9646: DAM does not honour config['selectedListStyle'] and config['itemListStyle']

[Uschi Renziehausen]

Hi folks,

I have made a new version of the patch, because while trying to find a 
decent field order I found that one more thing is missing.

When editing metadata manually, on top of Tab Overview some data that 
have been added by automatic indexing are shown:
- the (internal) title,
- the filename,
- dimensions, filesize and color space (images only)

What is missing here is the filepath. To see it, becomes important 
especially if you open up the edit form coming from Media>List. 
Currently, to see the path, you have to scroll down until you come to 
the Files section, which should be moved to Extra data, because you 
cannot edit it and it just blows up tab Overview.

Unfortunately all the stuff that is displayed on top is hardcoded in 
that field is hardcoded in dam/lib/class.tx_dam_tcefunc.php.
For immediate needs (target version 1.1) I have added the filepath 
hardcoded, in future versions this should become configurable.

Other than that no visible changes are made so far. The patch just 
ensures three things:

- Have relevant info from autoindexing at hand on top of Overview.
- Enable the ability to resize the category field via $TCA via the usual 
means which is currently impossible.

I also attach too more screenshots, one of them annotated.

Prosit, Uschi
