This plugin adds a new custom field format named File (revision-managed) to Redmine, allowing uploaded files to be managed with revision history.

Features

  • Supports inserting the File (revision-managed) custom field for the following objects:
    • Issue, Project, TimeEntry, Version, Document, User, Group
  • Supports file uploads in the same way as the existing file custom field
  • Supports showing, deleting, restoring, and diffing file revision history
  • Supports adding and editing description for files
  • Supports the following permissions:
    • View revisions
    • Edit file description
    • Delete revision
    • Restore revision
  • Lets you switch between File and File (revision-managed) using dedicated conversion buttons in the UI
  • Provides rake tasks for orphan attachment cleanup and custom field format conversion

Notes

  • This plugin assumes uploaded files are text files
  • If Git is not available on the server, the standard Redmine file diff feature is used; if Git is available, the result of git diff --no-index is displayed.
  • Git is required on the server to download diff files.
