1.1.4 Attachment View? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
The release notes say:

It's now possible to view attachments containing Microsoft Office documents, plain text files, and web archives.

How do I do that? I saved a Word attachment to the note of a task in OF Desaktop, synced, but don't see the attachment anywhere in the task on the iPhone.
 
Well, I've been testing this for an hour. I cannot get an Office, txt, or Web Archive attachment to sync to the iPhone. Email has already been sent to tech support. I am running iPhone 1.1.4 (v77.12.6.0.107240) built 2008-12-04 00:07:36 -0500
 
You're sure you actually embedded the file itself, not a link? The default is to make a link...

I tried both. I'll try again.

Nothing. I'm doing this by the book. Photo and audio attachments work fine. There appears to be no new icon for other types of attachments, so I suspect a faulty install. But it seems to work perfectly otherwise, and it has 1.1.4 as the version number.

Very confusing.

Is anyone else getting these attachments to sync over to the iPhone? I'm watching Twitter on this, and so far no one's confirmed it yet.
 
Still no luck after complete reinstall:

Deleted OF from iPhone, including all files
Full reboot of both Mac and iPhone
Confirmed OF no longer on iPhone
"Repurchased" iPhone OF from iTunes Store
Launched OF 1.1.4 on iPhone
Chose Set Up Sync
Opened Desktop OF
Let Desktop OF sync
Opened Preferences, Sync
Bonjour Sync already set up (previously working fine)
Clicked on "Share Settings"
iPhone OF registered name of computer
Tapped on same
iPhone OF synced
All Tasks and Projects and Contexts present and accounted for on iPhone
NO Word, Txt, or Web Archive attachments on iPhone
All Word, Txt, or Web Archive attachments in Desktop OF still there and readable
Confirmed that 1.1.4 build on iPhone identical to that before data wipe

This camper still frustrated and unhappy.
 
Are you looking in the attachments section at the bottom of the action detail screen? (Attachments don't appear inline on the iPhone, as they do on the desktop.)

Even in 1.1.3, you should have seen all your attachments listed; the difference in 1.1.4 is that you can preview your Microsoft Office attachments (where before you'd just see their filenames listed).
