Testing out Windows Live Writer with the options that Brandon sent me. In this case, I've opted for the registry edit, instead of installing a wlwmanifest.xml file (I'll try that out later). Here's how it supposedly works:

Run regedit, and navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs\{blog-id}\UserOptionOverrides

In UserOptionOverrides, create a string object with the name "fileUploadNameFormat" and the value:

"[wherever you want to put the file]/{FileName}"

Note that these values are case-sensitive.

With any luck, your uploaded images should now go into the right spot. Assuming, of course, you only ever want the file to go in the one spot (which I do, unless I'm doing some kind of blog maintenance).

So here's my uploaded image. Let's see if it works...

Update: Well, that worked peachy! Thanks to (I can't believe I'm saying this) Microsoft Tech Support for the tips.
