@AndyB - I tried this add-on (v5.8) on a test copy of my site and it performed exactly as advertised.
I just wish it would skip images that are hosted on my domain, since they aren't hot linked. If my forum were at "https://mysite.com/forum/", it would be great if any image links to images on the mysite.com domain would be skipped and not converted to attachments.
I use Xenforo Media Gallery, and it should skip any links to images there. So, if there was a link to "https://mysite.com/forum/media/img_2024.218/full", it should not convert it to an attachment. I already have that image hosted on my site twice (original version and a watermarked version), so it doesn't make any sense to store it as an attachment.
Also, we have a bunch of images that we make available for use in posts ("welcome") or signatures at "https://mysite.com/img/welcome.png" and "https://mysite.com/sigs/owner.png". Since these are not hot linked, they should not be converted to attachments.
That's an enhancement which would likely benefit everyone.
Beyond that, I still think it would be nice to add the ability to watermark images converted to attachments, just like Xenforo Media Gallery does (using ImageMagick). I wouldn't expect to retain the original without the watermark - just the watermarked version.
This is a very good add-on and it worked perfectly.
