      Hello,

      I use smugmug to host my photos and therefore always used the "Insert Picture" -> "From Web" functionality in Windows Live Writer. On Windows 7, the "From Web" tab is gone. How do I find the equivalent function when using Live Writer on 7?

      Thank you for any help!
      Gordon

      Unfortunately, at the moment there's no way around this. However, the Live Writer team are more than aware of the problem.

      I inserting images from web manually by these procedure:
      • Press Shift + F12 (Show Source code of blog post - Option in Menu -> View -> Source)
      • Into place where i want image paste this code:
        <p><img title="Test Image" height="100" alt="Test Image" src="http://www.test.test/test.jpg" width="100"></p>
        Where replace property src by right URL to your image and others by your needs.
      • Then I switch again to View mode by key F11 and on the right edit remainig properties.

      You can copy any image from any browser and paste it into the WYSIWYG editor, this will auto-hotlink the image for you.  This means don't have to mess with any HTML yourself.

      If you paste an image URL into the  Insert Picture dialog, it totally hangs WLW.

      The original post is dated 7 1/2 months ago. Are the developers working on fixing this problem? Is there a scheduled time frame for fixing this?

      For the record, this "Insert Picture" -> "From Web" functionality was a great time saver and one of my favorite features of the older version I used with Vista.  I look forward to seeing that functionality restored the current Windows 7 version.

      Cheers,

      -Bill

      Give my plugin a try http://scottisafooldev.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FE151030F50B5B37!3348.entry. Does the same thing that's missing.
