Will this plugin be updated?

+1 on this

I’ve installed on WP 3.5, followed instructions and it doesn’t work unfortunately. I too am trying to fix and issue with Woocommerce. I’ll be glad to donate if you’re still actively working on this plugin.

I am planning on updating it when the WP core team adds the hook. It was slated for the 3.5 release, but got pushed back to 3.6. You can add yourself to the trac ticket to get e-mail updates on it. If it’s important to you, leaving a comment on the ticket might help raise the priority of it, too.

khungate, it works for me in 3.5. Could you start a new thread with a detailed explanation of problem?

Its great idea for this plugin to work, they have to add the new filters.
How we can help?

Replace/Overwrite Media upload without loosing post thumbnails

Try to check this code:

// Force Media manager to overwrite files of same name?
add_filter( 'sanitize_file_name', 'filename_filter_wpse_28439', 10, 1 );
function filename_filter_wpse_28439( $name ) {
  // Get all attachments with same name
    $args = array(
        'numberposts'   => -1,
        'post_type'     => 'attachment',
        'meta_query' => array(
                array(
                    'key' => '_wp_attached_file',
                    'value' => $name,
                    'compare' => 'LIKE'
                )
            )
    );
    $attachments_to_remove = get_posts( $args );
    foreach( $attachments_to_remove as $attach ) {
        // Check all posts with this attacment
        query_posts('post_type=any&meta_key=_thumbnail_id&meta_value='.$attach->ID);
        if (have_posts()) :
          while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                // Set temporal marker
                update_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_temp_thumbnail_id', $name );
          endwhile;
        endif;
    // Delete old attachment
     wp_delete_attachment( $attach->ID, true );

    }
    return $name;
    // Continue and upload new attachment with simple name
}

// Set new attachment to posts
add_action("add_attachment", 'attachment_manipulation');
add_action("edit_attachment", 'attachment_manipulation');
function attachment_manipulation($post_ID) {
  $file = get_attached_file($post_ID);
  $path = pathinfo($file);
  $filename = $path['filename'].'.'.$path['extension'];
    // Check all posts for temporal marker
    query_posts('post_type=any&meta_key=_temp_thumbnail_id&meta_value='.$filename);
      if (have_posts()) :
        while (have_posts()) : the_post();
            // If found marker set postthumb with new attachment
  	        update_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_thumbnail_id', $post_ID  );
            // Cleanup temporal marker
  	        delete_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_temp_thumbnail_id', $post_ID  );
        endwhile;
      endif;
}

Is it useful, test for bugs, any suggestions?
