Part of #59745

When selecting multiple items and open the QuickEdit, we need to make sure to provide a good experience.

Questions to resolve:

  • Header: what to do with Title & Actions.
  • Fields:
    • to display "Mixed" when the values differ
    • what do we do with fields that don't support "bulk editing"? do we hide them or make them uneditable?

@jameskoster this would need some design feedback. Is this the target we should aim to? It means:

  • header:
    • always to be displayed
    • title: number of items selected
    • actions: what do we display here? only the ones that are available in bulk editing?
  • fields:
    • to display "Mixed" when values differ
    • what do we do with fields that don't support "bulk editing"? do we hide them or make them uneditable?

Bulk edit

Yeah, the actions menu would include any actions that can be applied in bulk (e.g. Trash).

what do we do with fields that don't support "bulk editing"?

For now it probably makes sense to hide fields that cannot be bulk edited. For instance there's a lot of value in displaying Title: Mixed as a non-interactive element.

That said, it may get a bit more nuanced when we get to media... there can be value in displaying certain non-editable fields like file format / size / dimensions. If they disappeared on bulk selection the experience might be a bit... strange. Notice how Finder shows -- in the Dimensions field, we might do something similar:
