We have a similar problem and basically we have modified both the exporter and the importer so that all the images we use fall into 2 categories - small and large (and get replaced later). The importer usually works as expected, but we have modified automatic attachment of menus, slides and several other aspects that are not done by default.<div>
<br>The WordPress core itself has troubles with exporting of some custom post types and the demo content out there (not to mention static links/images) and the importer and exporter need some modification.</div><div><br></div>

Hi, i'm theme developer from Yoarts.<br>We started developing some themes, and we got a problem about make "sample data" for a WordPress theme.<br><span lang="en"><span>We are</span> <span>imagine</span> <span>a process</span><span>:</span></span><br>
<ul><li>Export sample data with default WordPress tool, then import <u>without</u> images (Because we can put sample images to theme folder and import later)</li><li>Export Options (Included widgets, menu position, thumbnail size etc ...) then update those options</li>
<li>Export Images name (Put all images in a child folder of theme) then import and move to upload folder<br></li><li>Export and import some Plugin settings</li></ul>I thing that will be save the times and <span lang="en"><span>bandwidth (because don't import images with sample data)<br>
<br>What do you think about this? </span></span><span lang="en"><span>Please</span> <span>share with me</span> <span>some experience</span> <span>in this matter!</span></span>
