<p>This plugin handles a number of things:</p>
<ul>
<li>An extra “create post” option in the row menu for mediaitems in the listview</li>
<li>An new “create post featured image” bulk option</li>
<li>add some code to make sure that when you delete a post, the image is cleared properly (post_parent = 0) so it shows up in the “unattached” filter</li>
<li>add MediaRSS to your feed. </li>
</ul>
<p>By default it create “private” posts as I needed this plugin to deal with older photos. As I use the image postdate as<br />
default for the postdate, private leaves this date alone which publish and draft->publish by default moves the postdate<br />
the date of publishing. Private is also easy to find in the “posts” window.<br />
They also get an “media2post” tag so they are easy to find.<br />
De owner of the post equals the owner of the image.</p>
<p>Special thanks go to mr. Jeremy Felt who wrote “Automatic Featured Image Posts” and who’s code heavily<br />
“influenced” this plugin. I learned a lot from his code!<br />
