Ah yes I knew that, but the issue was the posts I already had in my blog were manually transferred one copy-paste at a time, instead of being created by the plugin. So if I attempt to import the entire blog then I’ll end up with duplicate posts alongside the manually transferred ones.

But I agree, adding a filter for selecting which posts to import would be a great addition (whether by date range and perhaps tags).

If someone else comes across this post, I figured out a brute force solution.

When the importer is running, it imports posts from Tumblr starting with the most recent and working backward chronologically. So I decided I would let it import posts until it got to the point where it caught up with the posts I already had in my WordPress blog.

To force the import to stop, I cleared my data right when the import was at the point I needed it to stop. The option to clear data and abort the import is found in the plugin page in the WordPress admin area.
