Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, enhancement)

It would be nice if there's a way to configure Bugzilla to only store
attachments locally.  Or better yet, a parameter that determined when to auto
store locally, something like a minlocalattachment:

   minlocalattachment=0   --> always store locally
   mixlocalattachment>Nkb --> if file is greater the Nkb, automatically store
                              locally
   minlocalattachment=-1  --> make bigfile optional

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

why not using the existing 'maxlocalattachment' parameter? and maybe a dropdown
menu with an option "all" or "force all"?

That would prevent the user from specifying a file size to indicate which ones
should be attached locally or in the database.  Granted, I personally don't need
that feature.

This is now fixed thanks to bug 490930. If you set maxattachmentsize to 0, then all attachments will be stored locally.
