As there appears to be some inconsistencies, I thought I'd document the behaviour of each of the attachment options.

------

1. Click on the "Image" button in the CKEditor, click on "Choose File" and browse to the file, click on "Send it to the Server", and click "OK".

  • The image appears inline at the configured "Thumbnail size", but it is not clickable and it does not appear in the attachment table when viewing the entry.

2. Drag and drop an image into the body of the message.

  • The image appears inline at the configured "Thumbnail size" and is clickable.  As with "1," however, it does not appear in the attachment table when viewing the entry.

3. Drag and drop an image into the "Drop attachments here ..." section.

  • The image appears in the attachment table at the configured Thumbnail Size, and is clickable.

4. From the attachment table, click on "Choose File" and then click on "Upload."

  • The image appears in the attachment table at the configured Thumbnail Size, and is clickable.

------

We need to make sure the images are always clickable so that you can always view the full-sized image.  Any suggestions for fixing this, short of reverting to v2.9.2, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Devin

When an image is attached using the "Image" button in the CKEditor, that image does not appear in the attachment table for that entry.  In addition, the image can not be clicked on to view the full image.

This was not the case in v2.9.2, at least.

Is there some configuration option I could toggle to change this behaviour?  By default, we would like any attachment (whether it's made using drag and drop, the Image button, or the "Choose File" button) to appear in the attachment table *and* be clickable to view the full image.

Thanks,

Devin

I will try to demonstrate with the two attachments on this entry.  There are two attachments in this entry, but only one appears in the standard view of the entry.

Well, you can have "inline" pictures like that:

In this case it is clumsy if this image gets displayed twice, once in the text and once as the attachment. So I look at the entry and if I find the image inlined, I suppress the display at the end. Now the "check if the image is shown inline" is a bit stupid, it just looks for the link. So I never thought that someone would just put a link in the text manually. I will have a look and see if I can change that.

One question just for curiosity: How did you obtain the link to the attachment? Don't you first have to submit the entry, then get the attachment link via the browser ("Copy link location"), then edit the same entry, then paste a link? This is rather complicated, that's why I could not imagine that someone really does it. Or do you want to achieve something else?

I improved the mentioned check for inline attachments. Now your page correctly shows both attachments. This fix is in SVN revision 2241.

Nice idea. I implemented that feature, as can be seen at the contributions logbook for example. It will be contained in the next release.

Would it be possible to instead of appearing a "clip" and/or "multiple-clips" (as the number of attachments grow) to appear a number which will be = to the count of attachments to avoid the column become too wide?

Hope it works because this is tool better every day.

Keep up the GOOD Work!

Ok, so I show individual clips up to five, and the number of attachments if more than five.
