How About Optional folders for @2x Images?
-
Hello – I’m wondering if this might be a reasonable enhancement idea for the plugin:
Optionally select (via checkmark in the plugin’s settings) whether all @2x images generated by plugin should be placed in a parallel folder structure alongside the folders for the original media images.
For example, if in WordPress you have the “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders” selected in Settings/Media, then the @2x images might all be placed in parallel folders such as this:
\wp-content\uploads\20146 -> WP media folder for June
\wp-content\uploads\20146-2x -> Retina 2x folder for June
\wp-content\uploads\20147 -> WP media folder for July
\wp-content\uploads\20147-2x -> Retina 2x folder for July
…etcReason: It turns out that many hosting providers limit FTP directory listings to 2000 files for any particular directory. The Retina2x plugin effectively doubles the number of media files in any upload directory, so I’m finding that I’m crossing that 2000 threshold every now and then.
Of course, exceeding the 2000 file threshold does not affect the website’s ability to function properly, but it does prevent visibility into the directory using FTP: only the first 2000 files will appear in an FTP client, the rest will be hidden from view in the FTP client, thus preventing you from easily accessing & managing the files via FTP.
Do you think such an enhancement might be worthwhile or feasible?
Thanks in advance. This plugin is superb, by the way.
