This works well if you have one weblog that is used as a “gallery”. Unfortunately this only works on a field whose Field Type is “File” – which is another 3rd-party extension by Mark Huot. In the MD Weegee settings, you enter one field id (the field id for the File field you have) – and MD Weegee will put a thumb from that field on the Edit page. This also only works with one weblog right now.
If you can improve on the functionality of this add-on, please feel free to clone/fork it and make it happen, captain.
