 * I’ve just started testing Add From Server. It’s a great plugin. I was wondering
   if it as possible to do an add-on to it that would allow a shortcode to automatically
   import the media into the post when when it is published.
 * Example:
    Media is located in /home/www/domain.com/media/subfolders When a post
   is made, use a shortcode such as [add_from_server dir=/home/www/domain.com/media/
   subfolder] When published, the plugin would then import and attach the images
   to the new post.
 * Is this too far-fetched to happen?
 * Thanks!
