Importing references to existing media related content
I know it's possible to import fresh media in a node by referencing an image stored on disk. CMSImport would then upload that file and pick it in the imported node.
What I would like to be able to do instead is just to reference already imported media items in some way (maybe matching the media items by node name instead of Id), beacuse we are using the azure blob storage provider, and we don't have images stored on disk.
Sorry no at the moment they need to be on disk. For a next version I will try to see if the FileProvider of Umbraco will work for this scenario. Also relations will be improved but needs to be as simple as possible and that is the hard part...
Has this feature been added in CMSImport - that is, importing media into a new umbraco installation from a previous umbraco site, both using the Azure blob storage provider?

Can CMSImport support this scenario?

I understand that, I will look forward to the next releases then. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Files still needs to exists on disk to import them.

Hi Richard,
Any updates for this in later versions? Or is it possible to easily extend the extension to support this scenario.
is working on a reply...
