 * Can someone please explain to me what tools/import xml files is doing in detail?
 * I can’t understand the difference between importing the file and checking ‘Download
   and import file attachments’ and importing the file and NOT checking this box.
 * The import for me works if I don’t check this box but does if I do (i have been
   told this is a size issue). But when i look at the import all the blog pictures
   seem to be there. But certain images in the theme (logo, homepage slider) are
   missing.
 * Please help me understand what is going on.
 * thank you
