Description
An issue I have with the usability of webfm is when a document is uploaded on the node edit page it is not autommatically added to the node, I have to perform another step of dragging it to the node. This should ideally be an automatic process, 99% of the time when uploading a file to a node page people are uploading it to that page

#1
A good suggestion. If an uploaded file isn't meant to be attached then the user can simply detach it after upload.
#2
Exactly, this eliminates the "why did my uploaded attachment dissappear" issue.
#3
I've modified the version to indicate where the fix applies.
#4
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.
