    I tested he plugin – with bulk resizer option.

    it seems to be renaming the image files by appending f1 in file name. This will make our job very difficult to manually change the url inside the posts.

    Can the process be paused with batch size of 100 images, and it keeps on running without showing the log.

    There is no command line optimizer in the plugin. That said, it will not crash your site, since the page is loaded in small chunks via ajax, but it may crash the browser eventually, I’ve never tried it with quite that many images. If it does crash, you can just reload the page, and start from where it left off.

    If you are using the conversion options, the plugin appends a numeral to the filename, and searches your database automatically for posts to update. If you are not using conversion, it never changes the filename, and it never uses f1 anyplace (conversion or otherwise).

    Many thanks.

    Ideally – if this can be done in batches – say we select images on media library (by loading say 200 per page) – selecting those 200 and optimizing. it will still be a bulky job to do manually, but will ensure the work done.

    OR – instead of showing the log – it runs as progress bar with pause / restart option. Once a image is optimized, it can be preserved in some manner -so that it can be restarted again.

    With limited resource on server – we run the risk of CPU / Memory overload – or this is taken care of.

    I wonder, if you will consider above features in next upgrade.

    You could do batches, but I imagine that is going to take a long time as you said.

    The Bulk Tool already does run with a progress bar. It probably isn’t exactly intuitive, but if you want to pause optimization, you can simply reload the page. The current optimization will stop, but the progress is stored in the database. Once you reload, you will have a button that says ‘Resume’, exactly as you were hoping.

    I can’t speak to the Memory concerns, but the plugin only runs through one image at a time, so it shouldn’t use too much memory. As for CPU, if your system has the ‘nice’ command (which most do, you can check your status on the settings page to confirm that), it will also run the optimizations at the lowest priority to avoid bothering other users on shared hosting. The optimizers are not multi-threaded, so they will only use one processing core at a time which should help also.
