going through all your DW posts one-by-one and identifying images that were posted on Scrapbook, then getting the image out of Scrapbook and uploading it to DW, would require us to screen-scrape LJ

Really? Maybe I am understanding screen-scraping wrong...

The problem is that LJ doesn't offer any way that we (DW) can identify images of yours that are on Scrapbook

You can easily recognize the image URLs, but if you are not allowed to simply use that URL and need to use a separate API to be allowed to get an image directly, yes, I can see how that's a problem. :(

Sorry for nagging you, I'm really just trying to understand.


p.s.: it would still be great if you'd implement a way to upload images to DW Images by url (like it's possible with user icons). Then you (or I) could simply feed that URL into the DW image upload.
