    Hi,

    Currently you can't import images and/or binaries. I have doubts that I ever add functionality like that. There is a Import media package already. However in the context of content I will add an import for media. The magic word is FieldAdapters. Best to explain by an example

    When you import data like a piece of HTML that you want to store into a rich text Datatype. A FieldAdapter will check i it can find any hardcoded references to an image like /images/myniceimage.png. When the FieldAdapter finds that image. It will download it, create a media item for it and converts the reference to the url of the Umbraco Image  /media/12345/myniceimage.png

    This functionality will be added to the 1.1 release of both the Free and Pro release.

    Cheers,

    Richard
