Using DynamicLightRecorder effectively

I'm just beginning to use the DynamicLightRecorder script and could any and all usage advice anyone has to offer, but most specifically: It allows associating a map tile asset and a set of dynamic light paths, which is pretty awesome for doors, trees, etc. Often, and happily, the assets I want to use are available in the free search results. But I want to copy those assets into my library when adding dynamic lighting paths so that I don't run the risk of the source images becoming unavailable. Is there an easy way to do just that? I'm afraid I don't even see a complicated way to do that within the user interface, which means I'd have to do my searching outside of roll20.
I'm pretty sure to have those items in your library you need to find a way to upload them from your computer.
If I understand what you want to do correctly this is how you do it: 1) Select the art asset from your search results and drag it on to the map 2) Select the token graphic you just placed on the map 3) Press Z to get a zoomed in view of the image overlayed on your screen 4) Right-Click the image then Save As 5) Click on My Library in the Art Assets Tab 6) Click Upload and select your new art asset you just saved to your computer

It used to be that just marking them as a favorite would move a copy into your library, but I'm not sure if this is still true.
You can right-click on search results in the right-hand pane and choose Copy to Library or Copy to Folder.
Well, I guess I'm mistaken - that's some good information.
