There should be no conflict at all, since it uses a different table and an additional field to distinguish parsed posts from new or modified ones. Just disable the 3.x one and install this ... you are ready to go. Please don't forget to enable the product once you have chmodded the imported file folder and setup the options, since it installs disabled.

I have this installed on a site with about 3.000 pasted images each month, which translates in about 30 MB imported images monthly.

Thank you.

That would be incredibly useful! Or to at least append #.

Could you specify for it just to use the letters in the title, and to avoid those characters entirely?

When I ran this manually in the task scheduler I get this:

Another reason to consider allowing the files to keep their names is how much it will help with google image searches driving a lot of traffic.

I'm not particularily interested of forging file names in a different way. Progressive numbers appear to work for everybody without additional options and international conflicts. Please see this plugin as an attempt to avoid missing images over time, and not as an alternative attachment manager.

Also, while I was reasoning about your request, occasionally duplicate file names would be then really annoying. Then I would have to use what? Numbers again? And what about the case insensitivity of Windows?

No, really, I see your point, but I can't see an easy and always working solution, which will not require me to add a lot more of code and support just to make it possible to use the same file names... ;)

As a warning it will proceed. Anyways, you may comment this line out. In this case, if an image URL is redirected, it will not follow and try to get the image there, but report a missing image. You may have to add the domains with redirects to your ignore list, in order to keep the original images.

An efficient SEO also requires titles and image descriptions, which are not given by pasted images. A possible solution would be to import images as real attachments in an album, where eventually somebody will add a title and a description.

In real life nobody will add titles and descriptions to automatically added images, ever! The efford to correctly insert images in the old and new attachment system is much higher than just copying a file to one place, and the never-or-once-used additional feature would be overdoing this product.

I agree, this is not a perfect addition, but it is surely much better than having missing images after a few days, weeks or months :)
