When I click to edit details it does nothing. Should I not be able to get at the URL I originally used and edit that? I don’t see how. In my case I made an error in the URL of a few assets. Do I really have to delete the assets and bring them in again? If so, actually being able to edit the URL after it’s imported would certainly be welcomed in the future.

“Edit Details” seems to be new to Blocs 6 because I am not seeing it in Blocs 5:
Whether Manage Mode is ON or OFF, when I right click on any Asset and choose “Edit Details,” be that a locally hosted Asset or Remotely hosted Asset, NOTHING HAPPENS. (Nothing changes in the right sidebar either.)
Because you have the honor of finding this bug, you should report it here:

Perfect!
It’s good to get into the habit of reporting, but you did it right because you posted in the forum first to make sure. I confirmed that bug exists, you reported it, and now it’s just a matter of waiting for the fix. I think it’s good to put a link to related forum threads in bug reports, so you did the right thing. And you never need to worry that I will mind either. Feel free to mention me anytime I’ve provided useful info or helped you confirm a bug. It’s not about me getting credit. I don’t care about that. I just want to help whenever possible in the bug fixing process.

Yeah, I was not realizing that it might be a bug, just thought there was some reason I could not edit details… glad you said something.

Just a quick note on this issue. If the right sidebar is hidden it works as intended, but it looks like if the right sidebar is already shown it doesn’t work.
Anyway, it’s all fixed up and ready for Blocs V6.0.3 which will be out later today.

Hiya Norm. I am still having issues with this, trying to edit the HOST info for a hosted asset. Grayed out no matter what. Any ideas? I am running Blocs 6.4.4. Thanks, JD
You can’t edit the details of hosted assets from Blocs, only local or embedded assets.
You can add keywords to help with in-app search, but you can’t change the host, if you have moved the file on your server, you will need to remove the file in Blocs and add it again under a new URL.
I see, okay thanks. Wondering if this is something that can be implemented in the future. Would be a great time saver and make this process much easier… 
Thanks again.
I could allow you to adapt the url from within Blocs, but actually moving the asset in the cloud/server is best done manually.
Maybe I am missing something re that, but right if you move the asset manually, then being able to update the location in Blocs by just changing the the URL that points to it seems like it would make things easier than having to delete the asset from the manager and add it again when you could more easily click on it and edit the location in the assets manager so it just points to the updated location of the same asset….
Yes absolutely, just making sure you didn’t expect to edit the url in Blocs and the file to move around on your hosting.
Yes just updating the URL to point wherever the file was moved ‘manually.’ Save the other one for Blocs 7, LOL.
