    EWWW Image optimizer tries to optimize files that aren’t image files when I try to optimize files outside the media library.
    How can I stop that?

    Here is the log:

    Optimized image: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-content/themes/skillqube/.git/objects/24/a4363109cfbd68083a091f616634a4111dfc6a
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-content/themes/skillqube/.git/objects/24/a4363109cfbd68083a091f616634a4111dfc6a is not writable

    because the object in question is possibly an image OR it didn’t actually do anything, but because the file has no extension, it doesn’t get “blacklisted”. EWWW first does a scan by file extension to keep the scan from taking an hour (or more), and then on each individual image, it does a proper file-type check prior to optimization.

    Linux systems do not determine file-type based on the file extension like some other poorly designed operating systems (Windows). File type is determined (on Mac OS X as well) by looking at the actual file headers to see what kind of data is in the file. That takes longer, thus the two-pass mechanism.

    I believe I’ve got a fix for the next release, thanks for the feedback.

    EWWW appears to be processing all .folder so for instance .git, .sass-cache. Its currently trying to optimise 17K+ files!?

    I’m on Version 2.5.4

    @shaone, don’t hijack a thread, especially a resolved one.
