It’s nice to see how many people are engaged in the Open Live Writer current issue. A few days ago jongalloway published a fix which solved the problem for some people, while the others reported it didn’t work. If, however, it does work - a strange side-effect showed up: once launched, OLW opened its new window every couple of seconds, which was pretty disturbing. I was the stubborn one to close those further windows and publish my posts anyway - but of course it’s not the way it should be.
Finally another workaround was published, which solved a multiple-window issue. All the two may restore the whole thing to work completely fine - but again, it doesn’t work in everybody’s case. If You, however, use Open Live Writer - it is definitely worth to check out - here I quote the how-to:
- Download and install the patch.
- Right click on Open Live Writer desktop shortcut and select Open file location. Find the
Update
(Update.exe
) file and rename it to anything you wish. - Now go up to the folder titled
app-0.6.3
and double-click it to open the subdirectory. - On that list, find the
OpenLiveWriter
(OpenLiveWriter.exe
) application file, double-click it to run it from there.”
It should open the program only once (i.e., no multiple windows), and you should be able to publish posts with photos as before.
