IPNS CID should have association with cid in files tab

[meandavejustice]

• OS: Windows, applies to all builds
• Version of IPFS Desktop ipfs/ipfs-webui@2277a09

Describe the bug
When viewing files in the files tab, I am always able to "Publish to IPNS" even if I have already published this file. It seems to me, the UI should know and reflect that. Also we should display/have the ability to copy the IPNS CID from this view

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Import file
2. Click on '....'
3. Click "Publish to IPNS", choose key etc...
4. Navigate away from view
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 and see that you get the same view.

Expected behavior

• Publish to IPNS modal should show if the CID is published under a certain key (check mark or otherwise found via curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v0/name/resolve?recursive=true&dht-record-count=16&dht-timeout=1m0s" (see https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-name-resolve)
• Publish to IPNS modal should show list of all available keys to publish under

@meandavejustice thanks for submitting this feature request! I think this will need addressed in ipfs-webui, but I will get to triaging this soon.

Hi @SgtPooki, I'm eager to kick off work on this—unless someone else is already tackling it?

No one is currently working on this to my knowledge!

Please go for it! Let me know if you need any assistance

Hi @SgtPooki, Can you confirm if the feature request involves adding a UI section to indicate whether a file has been published to IPFS?
If so, could you please specify the exact location in the UI where the information about the IPFS CID for the already published file should be displayed?

@SamarthBagga we are currently on holiday break until the new year. I’d have to dive into this a bit further to propose UI specifics.

Maybe @meandavejustice could chime in here, otherwise I will be able to get back to you in early Jan.

[SamarthBagga]

okay sure!

[SgtPooki]

@SamarthBagga sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

I would imagine we want something similar to the Pinning modal, where we list the pinning providers, with a checkbox next to them if they're already pinned with that provider.

Screenshot is below:

we should also add a new column to the files table to show which IPNS key the CID is published to, similar to "Pin Status"

Sounds sensible. We could even simplify "Pin Status" to "Status" and have megaphone icon there next to pin to indicate it was published with one of IPNS keys, and clicking on it opens the IPNS details modal you suggested.
