Hello,

I have just downloaded and installed the WebFm module. I like it very much, all my admission to the developer, great work!

There is only one suggustion I have that would, as I believe, make this module even better. There are in the current interface only three fields/columns of information, that describe files or folders: size, modified and name. What I want to point to is, that I miss there some another field for file or folder description, what are each file and folder about. Currently the visitors can not get nor basic information about files, only from the file name, what is in many cases not sufficient. Therefore I would suggest to add one more field called "description" or so, where file owner would put short text describing what is the file, or folder about. Very shortly, just one or two sentences. In the WebFm interface this field could be located just next to the name field.
Maybe this field, as well as size and modified fields, could be made optional. Site admin would decide which fields out of this three (size, modified, description) are important for his site visitors, and turn them on, or off in the module settings. For example, i wouldnt use the modified field, I dont need it at all, but I would very much welcome desription field instead.

So this is my suggestion. Please consider it, if this would be usefull also for other users.
Nevertheless, this is a great module, thank you for good work!

You are certainly welcome to implement your ideas and submit a patch for me to consider adding to the code base. I won't have time to do this myself -sorry.
