I've recently changed hosts and thought the easy option was to just export and import my blog.
But then I ran into the images problem... I've had to manually upload and reattach nearly all the media files to the corresponding posts and pages, which was not a process which I would like to repeat.

I have succesfully exported and imported my site in the past, so I didn't expect this problem at all. I do hope the importer will be fixed, because it is really annoying not to be able to do this without problems.
