Permit csv import or FTP function to upload multiple attachments. Change Attachment name field to at least 60 characters or more (it's far too short). Display more information on Attachment screen (product reference), make screen resizable (be able to shrink columns).

None of your screenshot links works (Error message: We're sorry! We were unable to locate the requested page). I am not able to see this.

Attachments must be added through Shop Manager one by one. Very slow when there many to do.

A csv import for Attachments would allow upload much faster. Or allow FTP upload of any number of attachment files.

The Attachment screen ONLY shows Attachment ID, Name, File Name and Original File Name. It does not permit showing Product Reference, or anything about Products that an attachment is used for.

Resizing column widths is not the problem, although font size on all ShopManager windows is. Fonts are very small and should be resizable.

The Attachment filename length permitted is too short. If your filename is longer then the permitted length, it gets truncated.

Hello!
According to your questions:
Q1 - "Attachments must be added through Shop Manager one by one. Very slow when there many to do."

Attachment is unique file, that's why to upload it - we need to organize 1 FTP connection to server.
When you added 3 or 10 attachments in bulk, all files will be added in FTP queue for upload.

Q2 - "A csv import for Attachments would allow upload much faster. Or allow FTP upload of any number of attachment files."

All the same with import. See me answer for Q1
We can speed up Upload process by increasing of FTP threads - see Preference Window - FTP section - Additional - Max FTP threads

Q3 - "The Attachment screen ONLY shows Attachment ID, Name, File Name and Original File Name. It does not permit showing Product Reference, or anything about Products that an attachment is used for."

According to PrestaShop Backend we have:
ID, Name, File hash

All the same and more we have in Store Manager:
ID, Name, Filename hash , original finemae (new field)

According to your suggestion: you want to add Reference between Attachment and selected products were assigned.
Am I right ?
