Feature: #107435 - File replace modal with enhanced file information
See forge#107435
Description
The file replacement functionality has been significantly improved to provide a better user experience in the TYPO3 backend. Instead of opening the file replacement interface in a new window, it now opens in a modal dialog, maintaining the user's context and providing a more consistent experience with other TYPO3 backend operations.
The modal displays thumbnails for supported file types, allowing users to visually verify the current file before replacement. Additionally, the following detailed information are shown:
- File type
- File size
- Creation date
Impact
This enhancement significantly improves the file management experience in TYPO3 by providing a more modern, context-aware interface for file replacement. The combination of modal-based interaction and file information display creates a more efficient and user-friendly workflow that aligns with modern web application patterns.
The changes particularly benefit content editors who frequently work with files, providing them with the visual and metadata context needed to make confident file replacement decisions without interrupting their content creation workflow.
