It would be awesome if files, like Media images could have Contextual links too, which link to file/%/edit and file/%/delete. Would this be doable?

Hi BarisW,

at the moment I see this module just as an add-on to the contextual links that ship with core.
Not sure if there are any views where by default contextual links appear in connection with files.

If you can point me to an example, then for sure we can implement that.

Well, if you use files on the website (say, images using the Media module), or when you use the core file module to add files to a node. It would be nice to, when viewing a node that has a file, to have a direct link to edit/delete the file without having to go to the admin interface first.

I'm not sure if this is doable, I didn't manage to get it working.

This probably outside of what this module can do. Specially if you think about the many different options how images/files can be presented. The easiest approach would be to hook into the image styles to add the code for CCLs but there is no guarantee that they are used. If you add a media file through a WYSIWYG editor for example, you will now have no indication what the file id is.

So for now, I will close this feature request.
