Item2438: When attaching files, improve look of automatic Links

If a file is attached to a topic, FOSWIKI provides the handy feature "Create a link to the attached file".

However, links generated like this have the form: * filename: description

In almost all cases, users manually change this to:

* description

In my opinion, the filename must not be output again - it is already in the path and if a user needs it, it can be copied from there. I think it would make sense to change the behaviour of the Wiki accordingly - what is your opinion?

Daniel, this is already possible, but apparently badly documented. There are two settings in System.DefaultPreferences, namely ATTACHEDFILELINKFORMAT and ATTACHEDIMAGEFORMAT, that can be set/overridden accordingly (e.g., by placing redefinitions in topic WebPreferences).

Closing this...

Cool, thanks! So you will also improve the documentation of this?

Cheers, Daniel
