Great suggestion! I've added it as an issue on GitHub. I don't have
time to implement it right now, but I'd welcome patches/forks. http://github.com/jgarber/radiant-textile_editor-extension/issues#issue/

"inherited from parent pages"
Yeah that makes perfect sense and I'm glad I understand it now.
That's useful information. Anyone using textile editor? It's
pretty cool but I was thinking the add image could use a little
souping up. It'd be nice if when you selected attachments it'd show
all the attachments that it inherits. Does that sound useful to
anyone else? I keep going back and forth in which is better
attachments or paperclipped they both are very useable and
surprisingly different.

Steven,
Attachments can be inherited from parent pages. So if you attach an
image to your Home page, then it will be available to all pages,
layouts and snippets.
Page attachments is a bit fussy: when you ask for a file that
doesn't belong to the current page (or its ancestors) it raises an
exception. It could be dangerous if you were to call <r:attachment
name="image.jpg"/> in a snippet or layout. If that snippet/layout
was called from a page which didn't have "image.jpg" attached, and
nor did any of its ancestors, then an exception would be raised,
and the page would not render. However, if you attached a
"image.jpg" file to the home page, then it would be available to
every page in the site, and the problem above would be avoided.
Of course, you could attach an "image.jpg" file to any section.
Then that section, and all its ancestors would use that file
instead of the one attached to the home page.
Does that make sense? The inheritance mechanism means that you can
treat page attachments in a similar fashion to page parts. When you
look at it that way, it should no longer seem necessary to be able
to attach files to snippets and layouts.
Cheers,
Drew

You mean because the name is page attachments? I think it'd be
convenient to locate attachments in snippets too. Snippets need
images just as much at pages. If a snippet had images maybe pages
wouldn't need quite as many. I guess, next your going to tell me
layouts don't need attachments either. Sure would be convenient.

Why doesn't page attachments show up in snippets?
Because it attaches to a Page?
