It looks like I should have posted this on WordPress.org. Will re-post there.

I'm posting to my WordPress (version 3.3.2.) blog using Windows Live Writer which, for the most part, works really well. What I have a problem with is what it does with the images I include in my posts.

When I add images to my posts I always set the alt-text and title proprties within Live Writer. Live Writer correctly adds these tags in the HTML but if I look at the images in the WordPress media library the title and alt-text have not been set there.

Is there anything I can do either in Live Writer or in WordPress to ensure that the title metadata I set for the image gets set in the media library?

Thanks in advance
