Attachments

Tasks can carry file attachments — a screenshot of a bug, a piece of reference art, a design doc, a sound cue, even a snippet of source code. RefractTrack accepts a wide range of file types right out of the box, grouped roughly like this:

  • Images — jpg, png, gif, webp
  • Archives — zip
  • Office documents — pdf, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and their OpenDocument equivalents, plus rtf
  • Audio — wav, mp3, ogg, flac, and a handful of others
  • Plain text and data — txt, markdown, csv, json, yaml, log files, and similar
  • Source code — the usual suspects (C#, Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, and more), plus a broad set of game-engine-specific scripting and scene formats (Godot, GameMaker, Ren'Py, Roblox Luau, Papyrus, and others), handy for attaching a snippet straight from your project

There's a small "?" button right next to the upload field on a task that lists everything currently accepted, grouped the same way, so nobody has to guess or come find this page mid-upload. An admin can widen or narrow the accepted list, and set a maximum file size, to suit your team — see your config.php if you're the one managing the server.

A couple of things are deliberately never accepted, on every install, for safety: anything that looks like an installer or executable, and .svg images (an SVG can secretly carry a script, which isn't something you want silently accepted as an "image").

Who can see what

Attachments follow the same access rules as everything else in RefractTrack: only people with permission to view attachments — and access to that specific project — can open a file. There's no way to guess or share a direct link that bypasses those checks; every download is checked first.
