Windows Live Writer Image Posting Error

March 10, 2009 14:28 by gemery

It seems that there is a error with the current build of windows live writer when posting images to the blog. Every time i posted it would seems that it would just overwrite the image instead of making  a new folder. The crew at windows live team gave me a fix I thought i would share it. They say it will be fixed “soon”.

 

Open regedit

2. Open HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs\{blog-id}\UserOptionOverrides\, where {blog-id} is a GUID. You will have several of these, but should be able to tell the right one by looking at the contents of the key.

3. Add a new String value with name “fileUploadNameFormat” (case matters!!) and the value
{WindowsLiveWriter}/{PostTitle}/{Randomizer}/{AsciiFileName}

Hi gemery,

So, is that fix working out for you? I noticed a couple similar issues with a previous version of Live Writer, but we’re up and using it now and haven’t had problems since. Let me know.

Cheers,

I have tried this solution and it did nto work for me on windows 2008 server. The filename is still uploaded to the same folder with the same name each time.
