Auto Post Images (API)
What does this plugin do?
To insert images into posts you no longer have to insert them one by one using the editor. All you have to do is name them appropriately and upload them to a folder & the plugin will automatically insert them into the corresponding post.
Want to add more images to the post? All you have to do is put more images into the folder and they will show up on the post without having to edit the post.
Need to remove a image from a post? Then just delete the image and it will no longer appear in the post.
No more hassle of editing the post.
How to add images?
Images tagged with the POSTID are displayed on that post. If the thumbnail option is enabled the plugin will use thumbnails in the post to link to the full size images. The plugin will automatically create thumbnails when needed.
Usage: Rename images with prefix ‘Image_POSTID’ where ‘POSTID’ is ID of post where the image should be displayed. Multiple images can be attached to a post simply by ensuring that all of them have the same prefix. For posts that do not have images a default “Image coming soon” image is displayed; this can be disabled from the settings screen.
Example Image Name: Image_66.jpg, Image_66_a.jpeg, Image_66_two.gif, Image_66something, etc. Note: When posting multiple images to the same post by naming them with the same “Image_NNN” prefix the image name after the prefix cannot have numbers. For example: Image_66abc2xyx.gif is not allowed because the filename after the prefix has a number, in this case the number “2″.
Is there a demo site?
You can see the plugin in action at my mom’s recipe blog Dash of Salt & A Pinch of Love. I wrote the plugin when I started working on the blog and needed a way to publish images for the recipes without having to edit the posts.

Thought you’d like to know that something is broken on the automatic installation of your plugin on the WordPress list. (Says header is incorrect.) Also, if in getting it ready for WordPress 3 you add the ability to use the custom fields to name the associated images I’d be really happy.
Thank you for a very useful plug-in.
