Hi,

finally I got around to look at this again.

Then I hit the Ok button and nothing happens, except that the dialog is closed. I would have expected the usual dialog as when importing photos from hard disk. What is the precise procedure?

This, unfortunately, is not how it (currently) works: So far, you need the URL of the actual image (not a html page that contains images), something like http://example.com/myimage.jpg
Then the dialog closes and after the image is retrieved, the usual dialog as you call it should open. If the download fails or does not produce a recognisable image, then unfortunately it simply does nothing. We should display an error message…

Best
Robert
