Can't rename/remove binary(image, etc) file via webui

[artem-check]

Description

"Binary files cannot be edited in the web interface" - edit button is unavailable, there is a hint on it.

And it is also impossible to rename or move the image file.

There is no other way in the Gitea web interface to rename or move a file. This is a bug.

I completely replicated this behavior on try.gitea.io

Gitea Version

1.19.3

Rename can be allowed. Image editing, only via paste of new image, I suppose, and it would be limited to PNG I think, as browser APIs don't really support pasting other formats. Thought a input[type=file] may work for other types.

Hi! Thanks! How to allow editing?

I meant it needs to be implemented, not possible currently.

How to implement it? Can you advise where to start?

Enabling the edit button in the templates when the content-type of the file is image/* would be the first step. Then you need to modify the template code so the rename UI and commit UI are present and working. Finally, add <input type="file"> in place of the editor that shows for text files.
