Attaching a file to a note

[oded 42]

When I attach a PDF file to a note (by dragging it) the file opens automatically and the PDF document is displayed.
Can I prevent this?
I want the file to be displayed only when I doubleclick on it.

Which platform?  On Windows, yes: go to Tools > Options > Note, and uncheck Always show PDF documents inline.  You can also right-click any individual PDF in a note and on the context menu, toggle View as Attachment on or off to control that specific PDF.

On Mac, I don't know of a similar capability to control it on a global level.  You have the same note-level control as on Windows, though: right-click any individual PDF and select View as Attachment or View Inline.

Hi Phil,

I'm on Windows 7.
The option  "Always show PDF documents inline" is not checked...  (so there's nothing to uncheck...)
In fact, it used to work flawlessly for me. The problem started only after upgrading to the current version.
I attach a lot of PDFs to notes and this is a big problem for me. 
Anyway, Thanks for your response.
Best regards,

Oded.

Hi.  If you're using Windows,  have you tried holding <shift> down while dragging?  Works for me..

Hi gazumped,
I'm sorry for not responding earlier.
I simply overlooked your answer 
I did try to drag holding the <shift> key down.
It didn't help... 
Anyway, thanks for your answer.
Much appreciated 

Oded.

No problem - sorry that didn't work either...  Just to check - are you on the installed windows version,  or are you using the browser client?

I'm on installed windows version.
Meanwhile I've  contacted support. They said it's a known bug and will be fixed in the next version
