This is awesome - saved a lot of time. I've added a slight modification - you have a media_process function that's never called, so I'm using it to add the images to the media library, then picking up the attachment ID's and linking them to the original posts.

Also changing -popup URL's to -pi, which seems to fetch the largest size image.

Let me know if you'd like me to add the changes via a fork.

Thanks for explaining the problem with the first case. It's not properly documented.

This output doesn't really help with hunting the problem down any further. I'd try one of the two suggestions above.

Try giving the server write access to the image destination (within wordpress)
or
Extend PHP's max execution settings (http://php.net/manual/en/fu...

Maybe this could guide you to the issue...

Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'The file cannot be saved.' in /users/vanillebrause/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/movabletype-importer-plus-images/movabletype-importer.php:356 Stack trace: #0 /users/vanillebrause/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/movabletype-importer-plus-images/movabletype-importer.php(580): MT_Import->get_images_from_line('

This could be the result of a few different issues.

1. Try looking at how your server is configured, php might not have write permission to the destination

2. Though I've gotten this project to work on small sites, in its current form it will timeout on large images or sites with many images. Ideally each request to pull an image should be done via an asynchronous call, I just never got around to implementing that ability. You can get around this by extending php timeout limits on your server - though I'd do this as a temporary fix only for the sake of migration and reset these limits after.

Unfortunately, I get an exception :( "The file cannot be saved."

Re: Enabling PHP and MySQL on your Localhost

This question is a little off topic, but here's the solution

You're trying to connect to the database anonymously ("nobody"). You must provide valid credentials via mysql_connect() or mysqli::__construct().
The server by default is set to reject anonymous connections.
