Comment (by ryan):

 Replying to [comment:29 DrewAPicture]:
 > @ryan: What would be your recommendation on the "Uploaded To" column on
 mobile? Should it actually show? Seems like adding a fourth column would
 make that even more unnecessarily scrunched.

 I think list tables on mobile should be one column. We should decide what
 needs to be exposed on mobile and make some editorial decisions. Related:
 #29993. And #29991, #29992, #29994, #29995.

 Failing that, I'd leave Uploaded To hidden and keep attach/detach off of
 mobile. The attach modal likely needs work on mobile, and since detach has
 no confirmation I will almost certainly accidentally tap it while
 scrolling.

 Someday, let's discuss how to kill the notion of attached and detached. I
 end up with unattached images all the time because I often share straight
 to the media lib from mobile and later blog from desktop (making galleries
 on mobile is difficult). Images uploaded to the media lib don't get
 attached to posts when they are later published. This messes up filtering
 down to images uploaded to the post and messes up readers (who are still
 reliant on attached status and featured images and don't have API for
 getting all images in content). Instead of making users manually attach
 images, we should pursue attachment independence further. Galleries no
 longer depend on attached status. Let's finish the job.
