 Replying to [comment:16 Otto42]:
 > It wouldn't loop through them every time. It'd attach them all to the
 first post made via XML-RPC. Then they wouldn't have a post_parent of zero
 any more.

 Not to nitpick but that's not how I read the xmlrpc, mw_newPost calls
 attach_uploads which will only change the post_parent if( strpos(
 $post_content, $file->guid ) !== false ) if an img src match isn't found
 while processing the post uploaded via xmlrpc then nothing happens and all
 those images will be involved in subsequent post creation. So while this
 will capture and reassign the image you uploaded, all other post_parent =
 0 rows will remain untouched.

 > Clearly, using zero instead of -1 isn't a viable option, because having
 attachment posts with a zero parent is possible using the normal media
 uploader, which creates "unattached" attachment posts.
 What he said.
