Is there a way for my account to be given permission to change these plain text attachments to text/plain? When I click the details link, instead of being able to edit, the browser suggests I open in Notepad, which AFAIK does not exist on Linux.
Which bug? This is a bugzilla question, not permission question.
More specifically, it's a bugzilla triager question. I anticipated that if I had posted the bug number instead of the attachment number the reader may not have noticed I wasn't the one who used the wrong content type, thus getting the idea that I was asking as a reporter/attacher. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1133171
When you upload an attachment, you can select mime type, which includes text/plain.
I don't attach logs as text/x-log. When I can remember, I ask reporters to attach logs as text/plain, but they commonly do not do it, and I don't have material power to fix it, only to ask reporter to try again, or waste time asking someone else to do what I could do in seconds.
And as with rest of bugzilla we have, you can't really edit things, just replace them. You can replace attachment with new one.
Somebody fixes them sometimes. I want to be one of those somebodies, as I used to be (and might still have the power to be) on bugzilla.mozilla.org.
Regarding "Notepad", I think that depends on what you selected on your OS. Different users will have different settings for different mime types. The linked attachment asks for "Text Editor (default)" - gedit for me.
BZ should be smart enough to default to text/plain instead of text/x-log when the upload selected is in fact text/plain. Non-regular BZ users commonly don't seem to know they should be selecting the appropriate type. When I wish to examine an attachment, I typically need it to be in an adjacent tab. That's (currently) not possible with text/x-log attachments without a bunch of extra steps per attachment. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
