AwesomeAttachments interacts badly with Preview

[anonymous]

Hi, I tried to use AwesomeAttachments plugin and it works nicely in that it simplifies uploading and publishing of the in-line images. It has one unfortunate feature though that renders it practically unusable - after I select file to upload and then click Preview button two things happening:

1. Image macro inserted into description is rendered as scary red box telling that image does not exists. Would be better to display some sort of placeholder (or maybe even upload image to temporary location and use that location for rendering)

2. The file name box is cleared in the preview form, so I have to re-select the uploads again. This is not very obvious thing to do, so I always forget this and just click "Submit". If I'm attaching image then Image macro in DEscription produces an error.

This has been fixed by Trac 1.0.

Yes, this is still a problem due to the feature being implemented in JavaScript. However, now that Trac has implemented an autopreview it's less of an issue, provided the user doesn't do an explicit Preview.
