Finally. Sharing tickets without an image was often inefficient.
'Cloud', an App, has been a decent workaround for this problem but in-ticket file uploads is better yet.

#12Love it. Now all you need is something to crawl cloud app links and convert those.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was thinking of non-media files - arbitrary files. PDF, docx, odf, txt, etc. The lack of being able to attach arbitrary files to Issues is awkward. That said, for open projects, I can see them wanting to avoid becoming an accidental free file-hosting service.
Those would be useful but I guess in terms of issue-reporting, screenshots are universally valuable for showing erroneous program behavior...when would other filetypes be useful for that, except in cases of programs that are designed to output such filetypes (attaching an ODF would be useful for an ODF generator, for instance)?
Not just outputs, but also inputs. As a hypothetical example, if I had a project that processed MP3 files, and it had bugs on certain files, it would be nice to be able to attach the MP3 files that triggered the bugs to an issue.

Would it not be useful to have test cases covering the broken behaviour (making it not specific to the issue, but rather stuff you could add in a commit)?

#15This is great. I was just complaining about this today in the other GH thread. What a nice surprise!
Re: GitHub now has Issue Attachments
#16This needs to be standard for every image uploader, I can't express how useful this is.
It's one of the main reasons we've switched from Acunote to Trello.

Heh, I was complaining about this in the other thread as well. It's encouraging to see some love for their issue tracker.
Now if they could only fix their damn search! :)

#18I would love to hear why the github team waited so long to bring this feature into existence? I am sure there is a good reason (or maybe not) but it would be awesome if a member of the team would stop by and post the details.

#19Can anyone advise from experience how long this may take to filter through to Github:Enterprise?

In a perfect world: the next release (usually a few months apart). But software has a way of coming up with unexpected problems, so let's call that a goal :)
We've spent a lot of time this year ensuring Enterprise has feature parity to every new feature we ship on dotcom, and this was no exception.
