 * Great to see this excellent little plugin updated for WP 3.5.
    Unfortunately 
   it seems to be intrinsically linked to the previous version.
 * If you update to version 3, you wind up with version 3 AND the old version 2.1.
   
   If you delete version 2.1 – you also delete version 3.0!

 * Yep. Same thing is happening with one of my sites. For what it is worth, I also
   have multi-site enabled.
 * Also, WordPress continues to show I have 1 plugin that needs updating even after
   the update.
 * I am happy to see someone has picked up the task of supporting this plugin.

 * Ditto … glad to see WP 3.5 compatibility, but I use this plugin for several client
   sites and hope SIW 3.1 will fix this little glitch RSN!

 * Confirmed.
    I’ve got the same issue. Can’t delete 2.1 without deleting 3.0. I
   decided to clear them both and have a clean install of 3.0 By deleting 2.1 you
   have to agree to delete both an then they’re gone. After that I installed Simple
   Image Widget 3.0 and to my surprise it came back with 3.0 + 2.1 (???). So you
   can’t get rid of the old version – can you?
 * BTW: nice little widget

 * Hi folks, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just released an update(
   3.0.1) which should clear this up. Hope that helps.

 * Just finished upgrading and got the follwing error.
 * The plugin simple-image-widget/simpleimage.php has been deactivated due to an
   error: Plugin file does not exist.
 * Re-activated the plugin and all seems well.
 * This was after updating on a multi-site install where the plugin is Network Activated.
