Images uploaded via WLW do not add to Gallery

[ioni]

If a post is added via Windows Live Writer (notwithstanding, a draft or a New Post), Wordpress does not add the images uploaded to the Gallery (which is did before)

[ioni]

Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure WLW uploads were never added as part of a post gallery. The methods available for clients (like WLW) to upload files don't provide a means for that file to be associated with a post.

Let me assure you that they were - at least in 2.7 this method worked absolutely fine with me (which is why I started the thread - it did work!)

Bump

Bump and confirm that Wordpress 2.8 is no longer adding image metadata to posts when post is uploaded via XMLRPC solutions like Windows Live Writer.

It happens too if the post is create by the admin UI.

Next verion, maybe?

I wonder if this is related to #10521 it might be that WLW is using the enclosure approach to associate the uploaded images with a post (which I hadn't thought of) and that the -1 look up is failing.

Dear Joseph,

You changed the status to closed, but the issue is still present (at least with 2.8.6)

It was closed as a duplicate of #10521.
