 * I am not sure if this in scope of mla or related plugins. Is automatic attaching
   to a post possible?
 * My idea goes like this.
    If an image is not attached to a post and the headline
   2#105 matches a title of an already existing post, attach it. If the headline
   does not match [create a post and] attach the image. If the headline is empty
   do nothing. If the image is already attached do nothing.

 * Good to hear form you again. Thanks for an interesting question.
 * Having given it some thought, I’ve decided that although it is an interesting
   idea, it is quite specific to your workflow and unlikely to be of interest to
   a larger audience. It is also fairly complex to work through and implement.
 * You could develop a custom plugin of your own using the hooks MLA provides. I
   regret that I do not have the time required to devote to this project at this
   time.
 * I am marking this topic resolved because I have answered to the best of my ability.
   Thanks for understanding and for your continued interest in the plugin.
