would it be posible to ad a link direct to “Todo” conecting to a file in “Files” by adding a feature which would alow someone to brows “Files” while “adding a item”?

In the old forum, I had posted a work-around http://basecamphq.com/forum-archive/viewtopic.php?id=2131 on how to attach files to a To-Do item. Granted, it’s not intuitive, but if you just make a snippet somewhere of this code & with a little HTML knowledge, you can add files as often as you like.

With the new site design, it’s no longer necessary to have 2 < br > tags. Just use:

Testing out a manual file link in a To-Do item:<br>
<ul class="LinkList"><li><img src="/images/icon_Generic_small.gif"alt="" width="16" height="16" align="left" /><a href="[MY DOMAIN NAME  & PROJECT DIRECTORY]/websitecreation1/JASMT___.TTF">Jasmine Tea</a> (uploaded to 'Files')<br/></li></ul>

And you should get:

Augh! This should be made automatic. I can do it, but it’s unnecessarily annoying…and vital to what we’re doing.

and if there could be thumbnails beside image files, that would make everything so much easier…

lol. I agree there are some relationships missing between the key pieces.

Files | Messages | ToDos | Milestones ….

Todos and milestones have a relationship
Messages to Files have a many to one, one way relationship

But doesn’t it make sense that depending on who you are, these key elements have different levels of importance, and any one can lead to the others?

That is, can’t someone have several todos for a milestone, and then of those several todos some have a message dialog, and some have files, and some files have message dialogs, and perhaps several todos.

I think there needs to be some thought in how to make these elements work better together perfectly, but for starters I’d like to see:

Create Message from Todo
Create Message from File
Create ToDo from Message
Create ToDo From File
