You can import a page from the Import Pages tool in the admin area. Unlike copying and pasting a page into the VLW editor, importing a page will retrieve the images referenced by that page and make a local copy of them.

If you have cut and pasted a page into VLW, you can ask it to grab images referenced by that page in the Import Pages tools as well. Just select any page you've cut and pasted in the Grab pictures section and press the button.

This feature is new with V1.5.
