Is it possible to place a link to an attachment in a JIRA issue comment if the attachment filename has spaces in it

[Dave Donnelly _Sensata_]

JIRA 5.0

Trying to link to a file attachment with name: RE 4 Wheeler - RFQ.msg using wiki markup code: [Clicky text|^RE 4 Wheeler - RFQ.msg]

But not having much luck... any suggestions?

Cheers,

David

Right click the attachment, get the link location and use it. Space shouldn't be a problem.

[Dave Donnelly _Sensata_]

Thanks for that Jobin but wondering is it possible to use the [^filename.ext] syntax or is that not possible when there are spaces in the filename...?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Never tried that. Try replacing space with %20 and see if it makes any difference.

[Dave Donnelly _Sensata_]

Right click and copy link location worked so thanks @Jobin for that quick fix.

Replacing spaces with %20 didn't work :( Confused.

It is the new version of Jira that no longer supports the [^filename.ext].  I have not found a way to fix this except go to old view, save the syntax then go back to new view

[Frantisek Nemecek]

I am not sure about the spaces in the filename,
however the syntax feature still works: [^filename.ext]
...I have it in use in front of my eyes right now.

on mac with chrome, right clicking the attachment does not show "copy link address" option. 

having this was so handy when dealing with multiple attachments. seems like whenever i try the "new view" i'm disappointed within minutes then try to see if there are new ways of doing things. and then ultimately switch back to the "old view"

For picture attachments (PNG), the thumbnail syntax works
 !with the arrow, OK.png|thumbnail!
even with spaces in the file name.

[jacinda agantovich]

@ Frantisek either I am not clear where to add the thumbnail! or this does NOT work

[Garrett Neuenkirchen]

@jacinda agantovich 

!pic.png|thumbnail! is what you are looking for. that will make pic.png attachment appear as inline thumbnail.

[Frantisek Nemecek]

The last to try (or two lasts) is the [^] link for a non-pic attachment, i.e. PDF,

and its cover version, like [|^] or so...

[jacinda agantovich]

The !pic.png|thumbnail! puts the image inside the text the |^RE 4 Wheeler - RFQ.msg] used to LINK to the text (which keeps your descriptions cleaner

I fixed it by not using 

Jira labs

under personal settings.

Same i did!

[Marcin]

I have no idea how to link an attachement into to description field... what the...?

[Ilya Ilba]

They have broken it and they don't seem to have intention to fix it back :(
