Integrate comments on files in the file browser

[jospoortvliet]

Would be nice if a file had comments on it, a special icon would show and users could see the comment and comment themselves on files, too!

Hehe, I see you read my other issue comments. ;)

Yes, this would indeed be nice. I’m wondering if this is possible since there might be a limit on how many different icons we can register, if I remember correctly?

Design-wise yes, we could simply show the icon-comment over the file. And in the right-click menu we can show it where the »Share« entry is also shown.

And this does not need to be a separate window – it can be the same window as we use for sharing already. Basically it should mimick the right sidebar in Files (with 2 tabs: Activity [including comments and versions] and Sharing):

The issue is still relevant and has a good, brief description. The question is mostly if it’s technically possible or we are limited by the amount of overlay icons we can register?
