Dropped/pasted images are not uploaded to the server but an IMG tag pointing to the original image is created instead

I am probably misunderstanding something but according to both the plugin and the Drupal module descriptions and even names, the dropped/pasted images are supposed to be UPLOADED to the server, just like when you insert an image from your local disk. But what happens for me is when I drop/paste an image from another page, an IMG tag is created pointing to the other site, i.e. hotlinking to the source image. Is it supposed to work this way?

    "the plugin was never actually activated" - how did you come up with that?

    I'm having the same issue, as the topic starter. Copied from third party websites images are just pasted with hotlinks.
