Hi,

?? is there somewhere else to post DAMP questions? The Codeplex home doesn't seem very active.

Using Umbraco v6.1.3, and DAMP 2.5.

I've built some DAMP MediaPickers to pick a custom Media Type which uses crops and other properties. When I edit properties (e.g. change crops, or add AltText) via the Media panel in the back-end the properties save correctly. When I edit them via the MediaPicker properties on Content they don't save.

Here's how I built it up:

1. added a NewsCropper datatype based on ImageCropper, and set some crops up.

2. added a new MediaType called NewsImage which has a NewsCropper property, and a TextString AltText property.

3. added a NewsImagePicker DataType based on DAMP MediaPicker with default/allowed media type of NewsImage.

4. added the NewsImagePicker as a propertyto a NewsArticle Document Type

5. created content of type NewsArticle

6. Chose/Created images, saved, and clicked Edit in the DAMP property editor. Changed some properties - crops, AltText, Saved, and Published the content. At this point I have the images etc as initially saved, but not the subsequent property changes I made.

Maybe there's a better way to do all this, maybe I'll have to stick with the clumsy Media-first workflow, however it _seems_ that this should work via the DAMP-based property editor in Content as it does know about the additional properties.

Thanks in advance
