 * hi
    thank you for the great plugin i have a question about the categories that
   the media is organized in. i am running an woo-commerce site, and would like 
   the images to be placed in the woo-commerce categories, not the posts categories.
   is it possible?
 * thank you.

 * Yes, that is possible. To set set the image categories to be the same as the 
   WooCommerce catageroies just add this code to the functions.php of your theme(
   or child-theme):
    `add_filter( 'wpmediacategory_taxonomy', function(){ return'
   product_cat'; } ); //requires PHP 5.3 or newer`
 * Or if you are using and older PHP version:
    `add_filter( 'wpmediacategory_taxonomy',
   create_function( '', 'return "product_cat";' ) ); //requires PHP 4.0.1 or newer`

 * hi
    this code causes the category section to disappear when i add a new product!
   also causes the issue in another post:
