field to comment the attachment
Hi,
Do you know if it is possible to comment a file in attachment ?
i'm looking for something like in the attachment below (comment in the grey part, or no).

Oh, a description of the file (f.e. "This is a glass of fine wine") filled by the user who uploads the file would be nice! Great idea!

Nope, nothing similar ever suggested.
Who would be able to add these comments?
Would be one comment per attachment or something like a "commenting system" allowing anyone to leave a piece of text?

On my idea it is only for the author to give a simple explanation and it is per attachment.

Thinking out loud: the "upload completed" area has javascript hooks that can be used to inject elements (similar to the way the "share" button is created). An additional button can be added there to insert a comment (I think having a box for "inline commenting" would a bit more difficult to arrange in terms of layout). It may even be possible to show it open on upload completed, but this may have other implications on the layout (e.g. in case of multiple uploads the various boxes may overlap). The comment should then be saved in either a new column or a new table entirely (depends on... things). The most annoying part is probably showing that comment when displaying the attachment. If javascript-only would be acceptable, then it should be easier (the comments can be sent out in a javascript variable with the id of the attachment and then inserted in the right place).
