PootleWriter Just Got a Major Upgrade: Image Support Is Here 🚀

Say hello to drag-and-drop image uploads in PootleWriter – fully optimized and seamlessly integrated with WordPress.

New Features

1. Upload to WordPress Media Library
   Drop an image, and it’s instantly uploaded to your WordPress site. Filenames and alt text? Automatically cleaned and added.

2. Drag-and-Drop Simplicity
   Drag images straight into the editor. You’ll see a blue dashed border and upload icon when it’s ready to drop.

3. Smart Markdown Insertion
   Images appear exactly where your cursor is – using clean markdown. No cursor? It adds them to the end.

4. Visual Upload Feedback
   Get live progress indicators, spinners, and drag overlays. Especially helpful for multiple images.

5. Built-In Error Handling
   No WordPress config? We’ll prompt you. Network error? We’ve got graceful fallbacks and clear messages.

🧠 How It Works
Just drag an image onto the editor.
It’s resized, compressed, uploaded, and inserted—automatically.
No plugins. No manual steps.
