  • Request for additional attachable file types

    How about

    • .diff - the difrerence between 2 files, often used when programming, fx freeciv
    • .gz - like .zip but on unix
    • .bz2 - like .zip but on unix

      Hi Thue.

      Your request has been reviewed, authorized and is now done. DIFF, GZ and BZ2 file extensions are now accepted file types for attachments in forum threads at Apolyton.

        If you're adding .gz and .bz2 you may as well add .tar as well.

            Yes, and so should .wav files and the like but they're on there too...

              Renaming a .mp3 file to .wav generally works anyway.
              But the point still stands.
              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                Good quick decision Dan and Markos.

                      Will do icons later today or tommorow.

                      I'm doing one for mp3 too, just because I want to provide an incentive to include it
