Comment (by don_ousian):

 As far as I understand this means there is no planned/proposed solution
 for this issue to get solved?

 The main problem is on importing media library files because it could take
 a lot of time, and this could be done *just* moving files.
 So, at least it would help some improvements in importation, let me
 explain some ideas of what could be done:
 * Upload media library files "manually" after or before importing the
 media library metadata?
 * Allowing a selection of what you want to import. Adding an option page
 with Checkboxes in each post after parsing the importing file would allow
 to import by pieces. It would be a perfect solution for many people, an
 *advanced import* I guess.
