Hi all,  
I sent this to the author directly but didn’t hear back, so in case  
anyone’s  
interested, here is is a patch for the page\_attachment plugin that adds  
a  
‘description’ field. It’s not currently possible to edit the description  
without removing the file and adding it again, but that’s good enough  
for  
me!

Joel

As far as I can tell, the attachment was stripped, so here’s the patch  
inline:
