This was added in SharpMT 2.1 – basically, if you had your cursor in an edit box and clicked Upload Image, you now have to option of injecting a link, with a couple of image properties, set to point to the image you just uploaded. The tag format that is used is set on the Tag’s tab on the Options dialog. There are two values that can be filled in by SharpMT: [IMAGELINK], which is the image’s blog based link, and [ALTTAG], which will be filled in with the ALT field on the Upload dialog. For example, if your Image tag was set to and you uploaded an image (with the “insert tag” check box selected) then that tag would be inserted into your draft with the [] values filled in. If you open the Upload Image dialog and the check box is disabled, you didn’t have focus on a control that could accept the created link – put focus on an edit box and re-open the dialog.
