I think it is useful to have an icon next to bugs with attachments. As for the filtering, I think it should be part of a bigger change for the filtering functionality to support all fields including custom fields.

I commited a patch which adds a new column to the bug list which contains a clickable paperclip icon.

The new column is however not enabled by default, since it adds a considerable (1 per bug) amount of SQL queries to that page. To enable it, set $g_show_attachment_indicator = ON; in your config file.

Can we preview this feature on this site? I'd like to see how it looks and maybe offer some comments.

While most people recognize the paperclip as meaning "attachments", there are some newbie users who don't. In the IMG tag, could you set the ALT and TITLE parms to "Attachment" so that the user gets a tooltip help when mousing over the paperclip icon?

I think we should set the title to "1 attachment(s)" or "N attachment(s)". As for the alternate text, I think it should be the number of attachments. The alternate for the title should be the letter "A".

Eventually we can store the number of attachments as a field in the bug, but that's a different story.

I commited a patch which implements the ALT and TITLE tags as per Victors suggestions. Preview at the link provided above.

Please let me know if I can resolve this bug now.

Yup, it looks good now.

Looks good to me.

Commited to CVS.
