What happened to the "From Web" tab on the "Insert Picture" dialog?

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!

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

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.
