does not work, as expected
Works partially. With correct mime type, yes you can upload new files as "documents", but they are either refused in the end, or renamed into TIF extension if the mimtype is image.
impossible to insert them as attachement in a post.
there is a better plugin out there that creates posts for that purpose.
