96744 - File path given for Addt'l Components can't be removed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(CCK Graveyard :: CCK-General, defect)

Description

[blee]

Once Addtional Components are selected via Choose File button on the last 
screen, the file path selected can't be removed - user can only change it.
One obvious workaround is to restart with a new Config profile name.

Observed in CCK 6.1 blds.

What are the possible solutions for this? One option is to provide a "Clear"
button. On clicking the button, the file path selected will be cleared. Any
other suggestions?

Could we remove the components if the text fields are empty?

Another idea would be to have a checkbox for each of the 2 possible components.
When the checkbox is unchecked the component info would be grayed out.
This would make it easier to enable/disable a component, rather then re-entering
the info.

[ ] Include component in installer
      Component Description         [Choose File...]
      Component Path                    Size (in KB)
      [                              ]  [     ]

[ ] Include component in installer
      Component Description         [Choose File...]
      Component Path                    Size (in KB)
      [                              ]  [     ]

Yet another idea, would be to make the component path an editable text field
that can entered either by typing or browsing.  Then a user could clear the
path.  But then the code would have to check thecomponent variable and remove
them from cck.che if they are null.
