    Hi There,

    Great plugin!

    I got a few questions – I found this plugin now – so I did a “Bulk Optimize” – works like a charm.

    But I do also have a whole lots of “filename@2x.png”

    These are not covered by the Bulk Optimizer as I can see, but I wish it could have an option for that. “Check for @2x images when using Bulk Optimize”-checkbox?

    I am using “WP Retina 2x” plugin retina graphics. I do wonder if everything goes through your “Upload optimization” when uploading images, or if the @2x still would be untouched?
    -and there is also a function for “bulk generate” retina-images in this plugin – does that also uses the ewww plugin in that way?

    I also have “Simple Image Sizes” plugin which as “regenerate images”, does that also use ewww? Or is this “resetting” everything?

    And is ewww also compressing the original images?

    Thanks for clarification about this, I wonder how this great plugin “plugs in” to the architecture with every other image manipulator out there.

    WP Retina 2x uses the wp_image_editor class, so @2x images are all optimized when they are generated.
    For @2x images generated prior to using EWWW IO, you can do this:
    1. specify your upload folder on the EWWW IO settings page under ‘Folders to optimize’
    2. Go to Tools->Optimize More and click ‘Import Images’ so that it won’t attempt to re-optimize EVERYTHING in your Media Library, since we just want the @2x images. If you have a lot of images (2000+), this could take a while.
    3. After it finishes, refresh the page, and then click Start Optimizing.

    Simple Image Sizes also uses wp_image_editor, and does everything the proper wordpress way, so the custom resizes are optimized, and any resizes that you regenerate are optimized. Additionally, the standard Bulk Optimize under Media will optimize all of the existing resizes, whether they are the standard sizes, or custom ones from Simple Image Sizes.

    Perfect answer.

    I did some tests, and it all seems to be working nicely. I noticed that the PNG’s hade alot to compress down to. So this was good, and a great way to have enabled.

    Should be built in from start ??
