Is there a way to add extra fields to uploaded attachements ? Essentially,
a description field
Also, can this description be searchable (search results), and would it
show in the file manager extension ?

Short answer is no.
Longer answer:
Ït seems Attachments can have a “comment” from what I see in the source code.
All that’s missing is a UI to set it and that’s modifiable by editing the proper *.vm
files from your templates/ or skin directories.
It’s actually something that we could expose since we support it at the storage level.
Also, can this description be searchable (search
results),
It could be added to the SOLR index I guess (if it’s not already). Marius?
and would it
show in the file manager extension ?
I have no idea, I don’t know how this extension works.
Thanks

Indeed, my bad…
So one solution you have is to create an AttachmentClass xclass in your wiki with all the
additional metadata you wish to have and have an xproperty in it that points to the
attachment reference.
Then you can add a UI to create this xclass automatically when you add an attachment.
And you can create a new Suggest Source that indexes these xobjects.
