If the file is not an image (which would not make sense as no product image could be displayed), the metadata editor is opened after clicking the icon; see Metadata editor in the same section of the Developer's Guide.
Delete (Delete) - removes the file from the field.

Conversions (not available for global products):

Conversion name

Can be used to select the conversion that will be logged when this product is purchased (ordered) by a customer. The Select button allows you to choose from a list of existing conversion objects available for the website. Edit and New may be used to directly manage conversions.

Conversion value

Sets a numerical value that will be recorded for the specified conversion when the product is purchased. The values are cumulative, i.e. when a conversion hit is logged, the specified value will be added to the total sum previously recorded for the given conversion.

 

You may insert a Macro expression into this field to dynamically retrieve a value from the current site context. For example: {%ShoppingCartItemInfo.UnitTotalPrice%}.

 

This sample macro allows the conversion to log the price of the given product as its value. The advantage of a macro is that it retrieves the price dynamically, including tax and any potential discounts applied by the given customer.
