Amazon.com Link doesn't show up in Attachments tab

bill
I'm using version 1.0.0b4.r5

If I modify the translator to display the ASIN url in the extra field, it does display the url in the extra field correctly - it just doesn't seem to get appended to the attachments array:

if (xml..ASIN.length()){
var url = "http://www.amazon." + suffix + "/dp/" + Zotero.Utilities.cleanString(xml..ASIN[0].text().toString());
newItem.extra = url;
newItem.attachments.push({title:"Amazon.com Link", snapshot:false, mimeType:"text/html", url:url});
}

    Turns out the about:config setting "extensions.zotero.automaticScraperUpdates" was set to false. Changing it to true enabled attachments to work for translators that use them.

    Not sure why the default setting is false.

    1) You mean extensions.zotero.automaticSnapshots, not automaticScraperUpdates.

    2) The default is true (which should be non-bold in about:config). Maybe you turned it off in the Zotero prefs under "Automatically take snapshots when creating items from web pages"?

    1) yep

    2) i guess, but a typical user won't realize that changing this pref will disable attachment functionality used by some translators
