October: FileUpload configuration form should be rendered using the Form Widget

[jajacobs]

I would like to extend the fileupload configuration form by adding new fields to it.

This is currently not possible because the configuration form is a partial.

What fields would you add to it?

[jajacobs]

Right now i wanted to add another text field were a client can add a link. The data itself would be saved in another table by extension using a relation. I know this may be possible by creating a custom model and attaching an image relation to it. But then you loose all the benefits of the fileupload widget like being able to upload many images at the same time and easy sorting etc.

I would like to add a field "count" to be able to track downloads of fileuploads (system files) and add this information in the backend by overriding the partial fileupload/partials/_file_multi.htm

Unfortunately, I was not able to accomplish this.
If another solution is already available, I would be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction.

This should be taken care of when I implement MediaManager metadata
