Hi,

SwfUpload is a great module. Easy to use and the looks are really nice too. However, it took me quite a while to realize that I had to double click on the row underneath 'Title' to activate the input field to add a title to an image. The problem is that there is no visual indication that it is clickable. While this technique is very slick, I as a user have never encountered this type of UI before, so it didn't cross my mind to double click an empty row. I actually thought of posting an issue because I thought I couldn't add titles. It looked blanked out.

And if I didn't get it at first, I'm afraid that less experienced clients are going to have some trouble with this as well.

Even adding a pointer for the mouse would help a bit. Or just a single click to show the input field. Actually I prefer to just see all the input fields by default.

Again, excellent module!
Cheers,
Danny

You're right about this. We need a visual indicator telling the user he should doubleclick to enter edit modues

I think a simple pencil would do the job actually, while having a tooltip then "make a doubleklick to edit the title. Nevertheless bind the edit event to the pencil also.

I don't know. It doesn't even remotely look like you should hover it. Even a subtle hint of an input field would help.

And I don't see why it should be a double click and not a single click.

In fact, why should be there any click at all, in my opinion.

Single-Click is for drag&drop.

I think the "pencil" wich is clickable should do it, or? Maybe making the icon themeable and we are good, or?

This patch will add an 'edit' link to 'editable' table drawers.

I'm not sure we should use an icon for this. I'm a bit afraid of bloating the UI.
