The workaround in the forum mentions to not use the standard Joomla modules but use a 3rd party solution - then it should work.
Since I still want to use the core functionalities of Joomla and don't want to use a workaround, I'll wait until there is a configuration that gives me the opportuntiy to apply it only to to articles.
But all attachments are stored in the database which causes problems when the system grows bigger. MySQL dumps become so big that shared servers abort the process und you're not able to backup your site anymore.
That's why I would really recommend the programmers to store attachments in the file system instead of the database. Then it would get an "excellent!" from me.
There are definitely pros and cons to both storage methods - database is simply the one chosen first based on a poll of the users.
Storing attachments in the file system is on tap for future versions. In fact, some of the necessary code is already in the current version, but disabled for now.
