no linking to external images?!

[old_fritz]

hi there,

building up an forum with vm2 to product comparison.
so there are a lot of products with data and images to import.

using csvimproved to loading up the csv files (zanox) with data.
so far so good. but when it comes up to the images it seems to get complecated.

can´t find a way to use external url_links for using images & their thumbs.
I searched the forum and get the information that importing images from external_url does not work in
VM 2. Is that right? Why is that? The older version do and the new one doesn´t???

Guess I had to include hundreds of images and thumbs.
it´s impossible to upload them one by one.

If it so, is there an other way to link external images?

thanks for your help!
