Description
It's been suggested that we provide a way to populate the description field for file uploads. This is something that we could add to the wp.uploadFile method.

chriscct7, josephscott is one of the XML-RPC maintainers. :-)
I'm going to close this out. Easy enough to re-open if we still wanted it.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for the great idea, and sorry it took so long to get you a response. The original file function you referenced no longer exists, and instead now aliases to wp:mw_newMediaObject.
In the current release, to add the description, what you could do is just have a plugin that hooks into
xmlrpc_call_success_mw_newMediaObject
and use the $id and $args parameters to set the description:Basically, in your XMLRPC call to wp:mw_newMediaObject, add a parameter for the description in your $args array and then use a plugin that hooks into the wp:mw_newMediaObject action after uploading the attachment to save that description into the description of the attachment post.
