 * Hi, I really need this plug-in to import in media library a lot (700+ posts) 
   of images added from another site.
 * I found this plug in that does exactly what I need, but unfortunately it doesn’t
   work in my WP (3.4.1 with Genesis Child theme).
 * When I select my settings in “Media Tools” tab, and press “Set featured images”
   button, nothing happens but being redirected to “tools.php” (home of Tools section)
   with a long GET query string.
 * `/wp-admin/tools.php?choose-tool=convert-import&content=all&cat=0&post_author
   =0&post_start_date=0&post_end_date=0&post_status=0&page_author=0&page_start_date
   =0&page_end_date=0&page_status=0&submit=Set+Featured+Images`
 * It seems Ajax not working.
 * Any suggestion?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

 * Hi Thanks for the bug report.
 * Can you try again but instead of choosing all content choose posts only. Also
   if you are importing external images you need to select import and set featured
   image.
 *  I’m going to do some more testing to see if I can determine the problem.

 * I installed the new version and now it works fine (thanks); it grabbed all images
   and saved locally (posts only), the only problem was it didn’t set them as featured
   images.
    After that I run the “Set featured images” only function and it worked
   too.

 * Errata corrige:
 * > it grabbed all images and saved locally
 * It imported the first images only. All other images in posts are the same (not
   imported with old url).

 * You should get feedback for each post. Depending on what tool is ran it will 
   say “featured image set” if it sets a featured image,
 * `"featured image already set" if the post already has a featured image,`
    `"img
   already in media library" for found images that match the base url of your uploads
   folder (doesn't actually check if the image is in media library- just does a 
   url comparison)`
 * For imported external images you should see a thumbnail of the image along with
   a link to edit it.
 * See this screenshot as an example. [http://c3mdigital.com/files/2012/08/tools.png](http://c3mdigital.com/files/2012/08/tools.png)
 * If you don’t get the “Media Tool Complete” output at the bottom of the page it
   means that the execution timed out. You can fix this by increasing your php.ini
   max execution time or breaking it up into date blocks. For very large sites you
   might not be able to handle the complete import in one round. The next version
   will hopefully have a progress bar and something to prevent the timeout.
