Help needed in WordPress – any devs reading this?
Is there anyone here who regularly contributes to the WordPress source?
If so, I’d like your help. Since upgrading to 2.5, there are 2 things that are really making my life miserable:
A. “Press it” windows do not allow image uploading to succeed
Here’s how to demonstrate it for yourself:
1. Use the “Press it” bookmarket on a page.
2. Click “Add an image”.
3. Upload an image
4. Click full size
5. Click insert into post.
Watch as nothing happens – except that you get stuck with a giant white square. This flow works correctly if you start by going to Write Post intead.
B. Images have width=500 set
Same steps as above, but through Write Post. Why does the image width get set to be 500?
Anyone want to step up the plate and fix these? I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Your press it problem is because of IE7. Use firefox:

500 is the default.
Here is an example with custom options:

WordPress is garbage. I’m an experienced software engineer and I am ashamed on their behalf.
You’re better off switching to something nicer like Movable Type. There are scripts to help you migrate all your content.
