 * Yes, this can work with external URLs. The plugin will first download the image
   locally and then create the thumbnails from it. And you don’t have to do anything
   extra for this. Just install the plguin and start writing a new post with external
   image.
 * Hope that answers your question.

 * Thank you Aditya,
 * Do this script generates all sizes of images or just the thumbnail?
    I use this
   in functions.php add_image_size( ‘related-thumbnail’, 100, 120, true );
 * can this image be recognized by your plugin?

 * in case you missed my reply:
 * Do this script generates all sizes of images or just the thumbnail?
    I have external
   images for disk space issues and I dont want to have them uploaded in my server,
   since that’s the first thing I tried to avoid.
 * Tnx
