Yes, it's true that modifications to the attachments are not reflected on a static site until you do a rebuild, but that's the same with links. I don't think that's a problem.

On my site, everything visitors see is admin validated (which is a sensible thing I think), and the pages are static (which is yet another sensible thing...).

I have however also thought about other setups, because I know that not everybody has the same setup as I do:

1) If you let users modify the attachments without admin validation, you have to be more careful, of course. Then you will have to make a difference between static and dynamic pages (OK, so you are right, there is a difference).

2) There will be many variants, depending on whether your pages are only dynamic, only static, or mixed. Only dynamic, or only static are no problem (you reflect the changes immediately on dynamic pages, and with the next build with static pages).

3) Mixed pages are more of a problem. You basically have two options: either add/delete the attachments right away, (so that they will be visible for dynamic pages only until your next rebuild) or wait with adding/deleting them until the next rebuild (at the cost of dynamic pages which are not completely up to date). You have to compromise there....

BTW, the plugin at the moment does not support users to edit the attachment descriptions. Once it's uploaded they can either keep it or delete it and upload it with a new description.

Do many people use mixed dynamic/static setups? I would imagine that people use either of them, but I'd like to learn if this is not so. I'd also like to know the reasons for using a mixed setup.
