additional files and descriptions. During connection setup
or editing, the user has the opportunity to set these on the
last page of connection editor. As things are added, the
user may delete this at anytime by pressing the item in the
list. A confirmation for deletion prompt will be shown.
Depending on the type, the following are available:

icon of 96x96 pixels.
