Good morning

Sometimes, when I want to attach a file to a post or blog-entry (not often), I must convert the current file into something less convenient but palatable to the LQ forum.

There could follow a dozen suggestions, now, but maybe someone can talk about the projected update of the attachment-dialog, if there will be one...

Cheerio.

Could you provide some specific examples of the compatible/incompatible file formats?

SVG, HTML, CSS, xml, ...
If, for example, a future input-editor had syntax-highlighting, you could skip a few of those formats.

... ZSOFT-PCX (for its simplicity and general awesomeness),

ODT, ODS and templates. TTF, OTF,
zip, tar-xz ... can replace all of the others, including those currently allowed.

My interest in having attachments on LQ is explained by the ephemeral character of all external hosting. I re-visited older contributions in a different forum which were full of invalid references to such files.

But, please understand that I do not have an opinion to defend and am not on a solemn mission to relief LQ-users from an unfair burden. My motives are purely egoistic (... egoïstic? ... coöperation? Never mind.).
