Platform configuration mismatch between solution and project files.

The solution (v2/Generator.sln) maps the OpenLiveWriterPost project to Any CPU configuration, while the project file specifies <PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget> and the manifest declares processorArchitecture="X86". This mismatch will cause build inconsistencies or runtime issues, particularly with the x86-specific OpenLiveWriter dependencies.

Resolve by either:

  1. Changing the solution platform configuration to x86, or
  2. Updating the project's PlatformTarget to AnyCPU (if compatible with x86-specific dependencies)

project (the lines referencing
{DF7E2A72-9D51-4AC9-982D-5EDC36B5DA26}.Debug/Release|Any CPU.*) to use x86, or
update the project properties to use PlatformTarget AnyCPU and adjust the
manifest processorArchitecture accordingly if the x86-specific dependencies
allow it, then re-run a clean build to verify no runtime or dependency issues
remain.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Avoid deleting the existing draft before confirming save succeeds.

Line 25 deletes the existing .wpost first. If Line 29 fails, the old draft is lost.

In `@v2/OpenLiveWriterPost/WritePost.cs` around lines 25 - 29, The code currently
deletes the existing draft (File.Delete on filePath1) before calling
OpenLiveWriterPostGenerator.SavePost, risking data loss if SavePost throws;
instead, write the new content to a temporary file (e.g., filePath1 + ".tmp")
via OpenLiveWriterPostGenerator.SavePost(post1, tempPath), verify the save
succeeded, then atomically replace the original (use File.Replace or move/rename
with overwrite) from tempPath to filePath1 so the original is preserved on
failure; ensure exceptions from SavePost leave the original file intact and
clean up the temp file on success or failure.
