Description

If you set
'disable_controls'=>'list'
you can once upload an image (or file). But because of a missing Delete-Button you never are able to change this image (or file) later.

It's a pitty, that this doesn't work, because 'disable_controls'=>'list' renders for single files much more 'pretty'.

https://review.typo3.org/#change,1142

Solution could be, to add the delete Button, even if the list is not shown.
This works (i tried), but you dont get an visual respose, that the existing image will be deleted and replaced by the new one.

Other option would be, to add a new property, that automatically deletes existing entries, if maxitems=1 and so always replaces exisitng images (files).

Solution:
'disable_controls'=>'list'
should only remove the list, not the delete-button.

'disable_controls'=>'list,delete'
should only remove the list AND the delete-button.

Attached Patch does this.

Sorry, but this was NOT fixed in f92873b30c59ca7bc7902617991175834589a11e

If you use
'disable_controls' => 'list'
then you will NEVER be able to delete this image again.

You may replace it with others, because now with maxitems=1 the image will be replaced,
BUT there is missing a way to DELETE the image, if you want to remove it completely.

Only alternative in the moment is to replace it by clear.gif :(

File T3X_user_demo_tca_files-0_0_0.t3x T3X_user_demo_tca_files-0_0_0.t3x added

I created a demo extension, that shows the Problem.
- Install the extension 'user_demo_tca_files'
- Create a record of type 'Demo for TCA Type group-file' (listed under System Records)
- Upload an image-file to all three fields
- Try to upload another image to all three fields:
Will add to the first (maxitems=5), Will replace exisiting in the next two (maxitmes=1)
So far - all OK
- Try to remove all images from all three fields:
Field 1+2: images can be removed
Last field: there IS NO REMOVE-Button, so this image can never be removed ...
- Try https://review.typo3.org/#change,3347
Last field HAS Remove-Button.

Why is this important?
Look at the TCA-Form: which of the two maxitems=1 fields looks better ?
I think, for single images (or files) the imagelist is useless and it looks much better to simply display the thumbnail.

Ok, I see the point with the maxitems=1 case - we could hide the list for this case, and still show it (without the move controls) for maxitems > 1. Otherwise all (!) files are deleted when using the delete button if the list is not shown.

IF you set (manually) to NOT display the list,
then (at least for me) it seems clear, that with 'delete', the whole list is cleared.

Its up to the developpers to set the right values in TCA, so if you set this with maxitmes>1, you have to know, that delete will delete all files.

Yeah, right. Thought about that a bit longer now - and your approach is more logical than mine (I would have displayed the list for maxitems>1 if the delete button is shown - but that is a breaking change I guess).
