Modifying Shared Files Feature

Hi,

First off, apologies for duplicate posting - I had already posted here but I figure this was really one for developers forum.

So I would like to display a friendly name and description in the SharedFiles module.

Looking at the code it seems that there is already a friendly name although you are using this to show the correct mime picture so changing my friendly name from SomeDocument.pdf to "Shared Document" changes the mime type to a text file icon - not a major thing as the download format is still correct (this appears to use OriginalFileName).

So really all I need is a description field adding to the SharedFiles table. I have read the developers docs and know you would rather not us change the original source - in this case it seems pointless me rolling a completely new feature just for one additional field - what do you think?

I may still create my own "Enhanced Shared Files" user control so that I can add some custom formatting and javascript behaviours and change the mime icon to be based on original filename.

Many thanks,

Ben

[Update]

Looking at the source it seems sorting the mime type icon isnt just a question of adding a new user control as currently datatable is only being populated with friendly name. Will await your feedback before doing anything.
