Description Willian Mitsuda

Actually, to add a attachment you have to open the task, expand the attachments section,
click on the "Add" button to launch the attachment wizard.

Please, include a "Add Attachment"
on task's context menu.

This bugs me every time I have to attach a patch.

I wonder if we should also replace "Open Correspond Task" action with a sub menu:

Correspond Task
  Open
  Open with Browser
  Activate/Deactivate
  Add attachment...
  Schedule
  etc...
  
Maybe there should be a common menu contribution for anything adaptable to ITask of ILinkedTaskInfo...

Added this a while back.

Mik, it is in task editor but NOT in Task List or Sync view. The latter is significant since we have 2-step patch attachment.

Reopening.  For the time being we are still focusing on making edit type actions happen through the editor where their effect is apparent.
