I would really love to have an option to store offsite images from other websites into imagefield to be able to handle them with imagefield (mostly for thumbnail and preview purposes).
Currently you can only embed image with IMG tag wich give me original size and that doesnt fit my teaser of full node design.

What I have in mind is that along with upload of an image from your machine with browse button there will be an option to pass image URL and "download" it into imagefield and then imagecache will be able to handle the image internally, which give us opportunity to produce thumbnail image, preview image etc.

Thank you!!!

Valid request, but unfortunately duplicating the already existing issue #85464: Use image from arbitrary filepath or URL.
My favorite solution, of course, is to use a nice browser like Konqueror which will automatically provide that behaviour for standard file upload fields as well :P
