I have used the importer three times in the last week to migrate content from one WP site to another. All content for pages, posts, custom content types, categories and comments came in well except for images. The images were in the posts but still pointing to the site I migrated from. Nothing was imported into the media library.

Quite a pain to edit content to adjust for the images. It's the most time consuming part of the migration. Images in the content is one thing, attached featured images should be imported without issue. This was not the case with the last series of imports.

Am I not understanding how it works? Should it include all images into the media library or just featured images and image gallery attachments?
