[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #9552: Clean Up Click Menu

[Uschi Renziehausen]

Hi Dan and *,

I tested this one with 4.2dev
there are still some issues with this one:
1) The label 'Open in new window' does not show up in the context menu
2) Some labels are bad:
    a) 'Edit record' should be 'Edit meta data'
    b) 'Open in new window' should be 'Edit record in new window' or 
'Edit meta data in new window'

Because at times the preview does not show you enough, because the 
original image is very large and thus the details you might be 
interested in get lost.

Even if

I do see a certain reason in what Steffen G. says:
Currently info is always last in the first section of the context menu.
Now editing a file is only possible for certain file types and is second 
last, therefore the info icon does not keep its position but is shifted 
as well. So the stuff that has to do with meta data should always be 
kept together.
