Further Review of Rocket Post

As I continue to run through the trial period of Rocket Post, I'm continuing to find some issues.

  1. I've turned on automatic spell checking before posting. It works fine, but it tells me that it has spell checked and displays a message box stating the fact. Suggestion: if there aren't any misspelled words, just post.
  2. After posting, the post remains open. I don't understand why this would be the default.
  3. I like the link dialog box which allows me to search and easily link to older posts.
  4. I'm confused by the link dialog box though and the behavior of the first field. It has a drop down for the protocol such as HTTP, but then in the field, it repeats http. I've accidentally left off the http in the Internet address several times (since I'm thinking that because it's in the drop down, I don't need it). If it's left off, it produces a bad link in my post. I'm not sure what a better solution is, but it's a bit too easy to make a mistake.
  5. Deleted images. I've dragged images on to my post, only to have them disappear! One easy way to duplicate the problem: Start a new line of text. Hit enter. On that new line, drag an image, and answer "no" to the thumnail. Type anything and then an open quote. The image disappears!
  6. I have a network drive where I want to drag pictures from. However, by default, Rocket Post treats the urn as an absolute path and leaves that in my post! I've tried to change my behavior, but I've forgotten to copy the images local on several occasions (and what's worse is that they work for me ... so I don't notice the bad image references until I look at my site elsewhere!). If I try fix the issue by copying them local, RocketPost seems to get messed up.
  7. Images are uploaded into the root of my blog. I want to be able to specifiy a subfolder, like "images". That would keep my web site much cleaner.
  8. I like the editor generally. It's got the features I want.
  9. The spell checker occasionally suggests to fix a word, but I can't see where it's suggesting. I haven't replicated the problem.
