   Is there a way to get attachments with WP_Query?

   It seems to work only with get_posts():

   $attachments = new WP_Query('post_type=attachment'); // not working
   
   $attachments = query_posts('post_type=attachment'); // not working
   
   $attachments = get_posts('post_type=attachment'); // works
   
   var_dump($attachments);

   What about using get_children?

   For example, display thumbnail image for post in loop:
   

   <?php
   $images = get_children(
   array(
   'post_parent' => $post->ID,
   'post_status' => 'inherit',
   'post_type' => 'attachment',
   'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   'order' => 'ASC',
   'orderby' => 'menu_order'
   )
   );
   if ( $images ) {
   foreach ( $images as $id => $image ) {
   $img = wp_get_attachment_thumb_url( $image->ID );
   $link = get_permalink( $post->ID );
   print "\n\n" . '<img class="thumb" src="' . $img . '" alt="" />';
   }
   }
   ?>
