Global attribute

[artist3412]

In my old version I was able to make a global attribute which allowed my customer to upload a picture to me. I have since done a fresh install of version 1.2.1 and am rebuilding my website, however I cannot find this option when making a new global attribute. (I believe in the old version it was called "file". Can you please tell me if I am just not seeing it, or do we now have to use an extension for this?
Thank you

we working on it. solution will be very soon..

so.. we changed code a lot that related to uploading file as product option and you have choice:
1. edit or replace file  public_html/admin/controller/pages/catalog/product_options.php and you will have ability to create global file-attribute without editing on product-options page.
2. replace all files from this commit and update database tables (see public_html/install/abantecart_database_upgrade.sql for details). After that you can set file settings per product.

I apologize, I am a little confused on this. I am looking at the documentation for this, and I am not sure this is what I am needing. Is this how a customer can send (upload) me a picture with their order? It confuses me because it says "download" on the file tab

Nevermind, I found it lol. I was looking under the "file tab" not under "options" tab. Thank you so much, I will let you know how it works.
