Feature Proposal: Enhancement of ATTACHEDFILELINKFORMAT (and ATTACHEDIMAGEFORMAT) with $date, $fileext, ...

Motivation

Enhancement of ConfigurableAttachLinkFormat is needed to support more precise and intuitive behavior when adding attachments to topics that shall contain many attachments. The feature can also be used to enhance the tool tip info when holding the mouse over an image.

Description and Documentation

Enhance ATTACHEDFILELINKFORMAT (specified in ConfigurableAttachLinkFormat) to support other place holders like $fileext (for automatic usage of ICON{}), $date (date the attachment was added), $year, $mo, $day, ... For example implementation see AttachedFileLinkFormatExtension.

Examples

currently I use:

• Set ATTACHEDFILELINKFORMAT = |$year-$mo-$day| | $name| |

|$year-$mo-$day|  |[[%ATTACHURL%/$name][%ICON{$fileext}% $name]]|  |

Impact

Implementation

See AttachedFileLinkFormatExtension#Answer.
