I like your extension and would like to contribute some features to it.
But after downloading the project and opening it in VS Code, I cannot get it to compile to a working version.
Can you please tell me what npm modules I have to include?
I'm missing the 'dist' folder, so I guess I need to execute some npm commands.

Thanks,

Wessel

If the filename of a file attached to a work item contains a #, when a user downloads the file, their browser will download it with the filename truncated to exclude everything from the # and after.

For example, if you upload a file called “Issue #14.docx”, the downloaded file will have the filename "Issue ".

To reproduce:

1. Create a file with a # in the name. For example: Issue #14.docx
2. Create a work item in Azure DevOps and attach the file to the work item
3. Open the work item and double-click the attachment to download
4. Expected: The attachment should have the original filename
5. Actual: The attachment name is truncated, and downloaded as "Issue "

This has been reproduced in both Chrome 90 and Edge 90

My company requires that all AzDO extension are licensed. Would I be possible to add a license to this extension?

Access via traditional attachments page is fine

Every time I try to add a new file I get the following:
An undefined error occurred while attempting to connect to the server. Status code 0: error.

I installed the extension on on-prem TFS2017.3 and I don't get the preview option like I get for images

On Internet Explorer 11, image files do not appear properly as a preview under the attachments portion of the WIT Identify Tab. Tested on Chrome, the images do preview properly. On IE11 they appear as a black box with an X.

Hi

When creating a bug from executing a test case, all the attachments added to the test case are missing from the bug created see attached screenshot.

Thanks

A variant of this extension for parent tags would be quite useful.

Why am I getting this error? Please help.

Hi, do you have plans to allow images to be previewed on the card face as per Trello.

If so, this would be a hugely powerful plugin for art and game teams.

Thank you for your help and great job!

There needs to be some padding on the left to align with the group header:

Content is not displayed + 'Add Files' Link is missing if IE11is used.

In Devops Server 2019 Update 1.1 (17.153.29522.3) chrome and internet explorer work fine but edge browser will try to download a web page when opening a card.

In our team we add multiple attachments with the same (or very similar) name to one task. In the mean time the last one is the relevant (but sometimes we need the older ones as well).
In some cases there are muptile attachments with similar names. Then it would be very comfortable to sort the attachments by name.

We need a function to sort the attachments by date and to sort by name....

Thanks!

Is it possible in Azure DevOps to incorporate email attachments in a full-text search?
If yes, how can that be done.

Hi,

Does this work on TFS 2018 - I cannot see any sign of the extension in any of the work items ?

Thanks.

The extension seems to have an issue downloading files with an '#' in the title. email .msg files for example are downloaded as an unknown file type. adding .msg to the file or navigating to the attachments tab is a workaround for the issue.

So this might require a viewer component or something (maybe an iframe would do it?), but it would be great if we could show PDF attachments in a full-screen preview on mouse-click rather than having to download the file and open it in a separate tab.

1. login to vsts in chrome browser.
2. open any work item.
3. In details section, under attachment Images are broken[image 1].
4. When clicked on the image it is broken[image 2].
5. Navigate to attachment section and click on image, image is loaded [image 3].

tried to upload the attachment and it failed with message
An undefined error occurred while attempting to connect to the server. Status code 0:

I don't know exact steps to reproduce, but I am getting this error intermittently in the Attachments are of a work item

TF400813: The user '' is not authorized to access this resource.

I suspect it has something to do with the recent changes in Azure DevOps where it asking you to re-authenticate all day. However, the rest of the page loads normally. And refreshing the page sometimes makes it start acting right.

The extension is really great and useful.
However, since the rebranding from VSTS to AzureDevOps, it has stopped working for me on the latest stable Firefox release.

It might be a browser specific issue, since both Chrome and Edge load the extension w/o any trouble. Any hints on possible solutions or further troubleshooting steps are appreciated :)

I'd like to contribute an icon for PDF file types. I found the code where you're switching based on file extension, but I don't know how the icon(...) function converts that to an actual icon graphic. Is there a VSTS-provided library that implements that?

If you can point me in the right direction I'd be happy to submit a PR.

Thanks!

I often find that I want to link (to) a certain attachment - within the Description or in other places (e.g. Wiki-Pages, E-Mails).

For this I really miss a simple way to "Copy link to file" via the existing options on an attachment.
Basically it only works for videos or image attachments to actually (easily) get the direct link to the attachment...

Hello! I'd really like to use this extension, but I have a question. What would it take to allow the Attachments Group to (optionally) include showing attachments from Parent-linked work items? For example, in our team we typically have screen wireframes attached to Features in the backlog, and User Stories as children of each Feature to represent development of different sections of the corresponding screen.
It would be wonderful, for our situation, if I could open up a User Story while we're reviewing the acceptance criteria as a team, and see the relevant wireframe attachments (from the parent Feature as well as any attachments that are directly on the User Story) right there while estimating the story points.
What might be involved in making that happen?

When click on Download from the menu options, a new tab gets opened with the URL and download doesn't takes place until manually refreshed the new tab. Tested with Chrome and Edge browser same behavior. Any solution?

When we attach a video, we can see it correctly in the preview without having to download it. An ideal tool for developers and QAs. But the video can not be moved backwards or forwards in any point of the video, something rather uncomfortable in videos of more than 30 seconds.

This bug seems to have been introduced sometime in the last 6 months or so. I haven’t reported it because I haven’t been irritated enough to actually sit down and take the time to capture everything I needed to report it. Here are the replication steps:

1. Create a work item (I don’t think it matters what type it is, but my screenshots are of a story)
2. Add a title and a few paragraphs of important details into the body of the work item

3. Attach an image from your computer

4. Click on the “Save and close” button

The result: The story is identified as being “changed by someone else since you opened it.”… but that’s not true. I have simply attached images and it has overwritten the save.

This is extremely frustrating when you have added a bunch of details into a story and committed SERIOUS time into filling out these work items in a BUNCH of different area’s of the work item to only find out that after you attached your image it killed everything. I have taken the time to copy and paste all of the different text area’s into a text editor in order to re-copy it back over, but it takes a ton more time to do that.

First of all great work!
I know it's kind of a major request but could you add the ability to add images from clipboard?
That would be awesome and could save so much time!

Dear team,

When we uploaded a wrong file under the attachment, we can't delete it with the option there.
Please check and have it fixed.
Thank you,
Allan

We utilize the history feature to download deleted attachments as a version history. The ability to download deleted attachments from history has been removed. Is there another way to access the deleted files in order to see previous versions of our files if needed?

We often add attachments to anywhere in the hierarchy of epic/feature/pbi/task work item hierarchy. It would be very useful to be able to see attachments from all ancestor work items, not just the immediate parent.

Thanks for creating this extension! 👍

In AzureDevops we use an extension for the Attachments.
However when I download the attachment the download seems to download a file and not a specific filetype life jpeg / pdf.
Could you adivse me?

I tried to bulk download and it didn't work.

I marked everything with shift+click and then shift+D to download, and it downloaded only one file.

the link to parent can't be removed (can't save)

TFS 2018.3
google chrome v71

added attachment to attachment group control.
yet "save" button not enabled. must perform another field update to enable it

same with removing. attachment removed, save yet not enabled but attachment not shown in attachments group. still remains in attachments classic tab

When attaching a file in VSTS it is uploading but giving a foreign file type. This has happened with both excel andblob:https://teams.microsoft.com/982ccb58-6e97-49c9-ace1-f6f768591371 word documents.
