Hi Aditya,

Thank you for your reply.

I think you misunderstand my problem?

I know that multiple images is normal behaviour; (1 ‘original’ image and 1 ‘featured or thumbnail’ image) (or more, if you configure for different thumb sizes)

What I am experiencing is duplication of the ‘original’ image and the ‘thumb image’ so I end up with 4 instead of only 2.

Please, look at my post above again.

The example:

test_0001_thru_wordpress.jpg
test_0001_thru_wordpress-300×240.jpg

is what should be happening.. (and this happens when I use the WP dashboard to post to WP)

While;

test_0002_thru_marsedit.jpg
test_0002_thru_marsedit-300×240.jpg
test_0002_thru_marsedit1.jpg
test_0002_thru_marsedit1-300×240.jpg

is what is happening when I use the blog editing program Mars Edit to post images and text to WP.

I posted my problem on the Mars Edit forum, but they suggested I contact you as the writer of the plugin;

In situations like this it’s extremely likely to be an issue in the plugin, and not in MarsEdit. This is because MarsEdit has very limited access to your blog’s media storage (i.e. it has zero access :)).

When you upload an image with MarsEdit to your blog, it’s just requesting to the blog system that it accept the file and save it in the media folder. If it’s creating multiple files it has to be an issue on the server side. If it’s only happening when this plugin is enabled, then it’s probably something to follow up with the plugin developer about.

Sadly, I’m not a programmer so I can’t begin to think where the conflict lies but does any of the above make sense to you?

One thing I wonder, does your plugin require the feature to be turned on in the ‘functions.php’ file? I added this as per the link on the plugin site;

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array( ‘post’ ) ); // Add it for posts
set_post_thumbnail_size( 300, 240, true ); // 300 pixels wide by 240 pixels tall, hard crop mode

This would not cause the duplication would it?

Any help you can give would be gratefully received.. this plugin is just what I need if only I can get it to work with MarsEdit!!

Thanks,

Barry
