HI all,

It was discussed at the User Group chat that we could add a Description field to files in Our Files, which could be visible in the file listing and also in any notifications that get to members when files are added/updated.

There is already a field called Version Notes on files which currently isn't shown in the listing, so I was thinking of repurposing this - basically renaming Version Notes to Description and making it visible.

This would mean though, that any notes currently made by admins, that they thought were private, will then become visible (unless I blank them all!)

From what I can see from the database, the notes that people have added are generally quite useful and descriptive, so making them visible is probably a good thing - in many cases it looks like admins have assumed they would be visible based on what's in there.

Also, the notes aren't completely hidden at the moment - if you search the site it will search the Version Notes and show them in the results. So this change will formalise this and stop pretending that they are admin-only!

But, before I make this change, does anyone have any objection to it?

Thanks

Joe
