Everytime you go to specify an attachment, it defaults to file. In my case, I use the clipboard about 99.9% of the time so it's annoying to have to change this all the time. The InputAttachmentSourcePage should use dialog settings to store the last selection so alleviate the pain of users.
+1 I have the same usage pattern. The dialog should at least detect if there is anything in the clipboard and select the clipboard by default in that case.
+1 for last selection.
I'm going to do this one on my 20+ hour plane ride today.
Excellent. Post if you have any questions.
Created attachment 83686 [details] org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.patch Here's a patch to implement the "last selection" logic for dialog settings and remove amnesia from the wizard. I also cleaned up the code a bit.

Chris, while you are on it, would it be interesting for you to implement a history dropdown for the file name in this dialog? It could remember last 10 files entered there and it can be saved in the dialog preferences. Such functionality is available in some Platform wizard, for example, location page in CVS checkout wizard.
One step at a time Eugene, I don't like big patches :P We can open another bug for that case, which in my opinion, file based attachments is probably not used that much versus the clipboard (just my hunch/opinion)

Thanks for the patch Chris! I'll take a look at it so we can get this in for the next release.
Great patch, thank you for doing the cleanup. Updated IP log and applied patch with a minor modification: when the wizard settings did not exist the next button would be enabled although no filename was entered.
