--- End quote ---
One issue with this, compared to the regular [ img ] tags: They don't scale to page width. Instead, it just turns the whole post (not just the image!) into a left-right scrolling nightmare. This could lead to significant problems with people posting inline images on their 30" displays with the browser maximized, not realizing that they won't scale down as the traditional tag does, meaning that any text they write in the post will require incessant horizontal scrolling to read.

That's a bummer. Can it be fixed via CSS?

The image went to full screen view automatically and looked good when viewed at 100%. I then needed to hit the back button to return to the post but this could be normal as I haven't had a look from the computer as yet.   :-\

Yes, seem you have to hit the back button, it's not a popup.

That's super annoying, having thumbnails behave completely differently depending on where they are in a post. :(

--- End quote ---

Yes, unfortunately, when clicking an inline thumbnail generated by this mod, it doesn't load the full-size image inline. Instead, it just directs the browser to the attachment, which loads as a new page. Ideally, it would've loaded the image inline, similar to the way thumbnails at the bottom dynamically load the full-size image in place.

FYI, there's a substantial "gotcha" with them combined when using multiple attachments: the inline plugin doesn't know about the advanced attachments. So if you use advanced attachments to add multiple attachments (identifiable by the images being uploaded in real-time, adding a thumbnail immediately) instead of clicking the "more attachments" link to add another file chooser), the inline plugin doesn't know this, and sees only the first one.

In the test above, the hare with rifle and Perry the Platypus were uploaded (in that order) using the advanced attachments upload, having selected "inline thumbnail". It only inserts one insert tag (with attachment ID 1), not two. The fox with binoculars was uploaded using "more attachments" to add another file chooser, and it correctly incremented another insert tag (with ID 2).

Expected/desired behavior would have been for the hare to have ID 1, Perry to have ID 2, the fox to have ID 3, with an inline thumbnail of all three. Instead, the fox got ID 1 and an inline thumbnail, Perry got ID 3 but no inline thumbnail, and the hare got ID 2 and an inline thumbnail.

Additionally, the advanced attachments plugin ONLY applies to the first file chooser. Any additional ones added by the "more attachments" link retain strictly the old 1 chooser == 1 file behavior, where selecting another file replaces the previously selected one.


None of this is a deal-breaker (they're still useful plugins), just something to be aware of when doing complex posts with multiple inline attachments. In that case, it's probably best to attach them as traditional attachments and then go back and edit to insert them. But using advanced attachments for multiple "traditional" attachments works great.

Thanks for all the testing, tooki. This is good to keep in mind.

:P I guess it shows that I have  worked in the past as a user interface designer, and as an informal tester at a software company that didn't have a QA department (so the support department ended up doing it as best we could)!

I just posted a message with multiple inline full size images, using the advanced plugin.

When you upload the first image, it places the reference
--- Code: ---[attachimg=1]
--- End code ---
where your cursor is if you press the preview button. However, from the second image on, this doesn't work. What you have to do is to upload all the subsequent images and place
--- Code: ---[attachimg=2]
--- End code ---
,
--- Code: ---[attachimg=3]
--- End code ---
and so on manually where you want them inlined.
