This vBulletin 4 product imports external images in your posts from external servers or paths into a specific path, normally your forum's image folder.
Differently than the previous product Image Cache for vBulletin 3.x., it parses the posts at regular intervals for new images and replaces the external references in the background. Also, instead of using only a single folder, it creates folders for years and months, making it much easier to handle large quantities of images. The source and destination image URL's are stored into database, too, avoiding unnecessary duplicates.
It moves and optionally converts images from one place to another. It is a handy tool in order to keep your images local to your forums.
Version 1.0.4 is temporarily in BETA stage until the users have confirmed the newly requested features.
Version 1.0.5 is still in BETA stage. It adds a new bunch of additional features, one of which allows you to test your mathematical understanding ... and a few other to fine-tune CURL and socket timeouts, and resizing on the fly of too large images. If you don't know what these options do, please leave them at their default values.
It is too dangerous to handle by ordinary forum owners. Who knows a little about MySQL eventually will do it with no harm, but a complete noob is capable to destroy the message base with one click. I can't be fund of such a problem.
I installed thisplugin years ago and my imported folder size is very large and increasing. Is there a way to delete unlinked images from folder? Because many of the threats get deleted but the images remains there

They would be very good options for a future release.

[X] Delete unused backup images
[X] only save images of the 1st post, not answers
The sense of this plugin is to keep all images and deleting threads etc is not a common practice, but only of a very few sites.
In order to efficiently delete unused images the only way is to use server side scripts and these may be crafted and used anyway only by system administrators ... there is no single system identical to another.
Ideally, you make a list of all images and search the posts, signatures and other places for those images. All of which you find, will be marked to keep. And then you delete the rest. Another approach would be to analyze the server logs over a long timespan (1 month or more) and mark all found images to keep.
