 It is impossible to attach a file or image to a post created using
 QuickPress on the Dashboard.

 Since QuickPress doesn't have an autosave feature like the full-blown
 editor, a post ID isn't generated until the post is either saved or
 published - at which point the post's content is cleared from the
 QuickPress editor, so you can no longer attach a file to it anyway.

 Currently, the only way to attach a file or image to a post written in
 QuickPress is to save it as a draft, then re-edit it using the full
 editor, which somewhat defeats the object of using QuickPress.

 Just to clarify - you can upload images and insert them into the *body* of
 the post, but you can't upload images and have them stored as attachments
 using QuickPress at all.

 Note: #8932 appears to report a similar issue, but was marked as a
 duplicate of #9471.  I added my feedback to #9471 but was asked to open a
 new ticket.
