Much easier than: Command + Control + Shift + 3 and Command + Control + Shift + 4 + Spacebar + Mouse Click in my opinion.

Yeah but being able to drag a selection beats out Windows by a lot.

Windows has "snipping" tool that does that.

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.

let's make it simple. Images and text are the most important things, make it best and fast ^^

Only for applications that don't deal with binary data. The company I work for uses ODF, PDF, DOC and other formats regularly and the inability to attach those files to GitHub issues is a monumental PITA.

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

@mtodd and @kneath, thanks chaps. Looking forward to it :)

+1 for Imgur. Hosted all of my images for our GitHub Game Off entry[1] README file there. Always a solid solution if you want any sort of image hosting. [1]: https://github.com/TARGS/game-off-2012

Do note that imgur will delete images if they haven't been viewed in 6 months. http://imgur.com/faq#long

Did not know that, thanks for the heads up.
