OK, so more detail here.
– i grabbed the newer/dev version, and on 1 of my sites had to run it several times (brettandmb.net) to have it fully work through all posts…at some times it just ‘stopped’. On another site, it ran through once without stopping and I did not have to run it again (brettstark.com).
– the plugin correctly grabbed and imported all posts and pictures, including put the images on the local self hosted server in the uploads directory and linking to those rather than posterous links.
– however, for videos, it imported the post the video was in and actually copied the video file (.mov etc) into the local uploads directory etc. BUT, the link in the post still points to the video on posterous.
** Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Does the plugin need a fix? is there any other easy way to fix these links rather than manually updating each post?
Another curious thing – I am seeing in my media area of the blogs that each media item, (image/video) has a ‘-2’ on the end of the url/slug compared to the corresponding post. Not sure if this is OK/correct or another issue – again though the images within media seem to be linked correctly. Also, within the media library, everything shows as attached.
Thx
