 * Having registered an image successfully for the first time, I see in the folder
   there are 7 thumbnails of various sizes (as opposed to the 5 thumbnails created
   using the normal WP upload media). Is there any way of creating fewer thumbnails(
   an issue because I have thousands of images)?
 * Also, the log shows 10 “Featured files being created”, the last three of which
   are duplicates. Is that usual?

 * When this plug-in registers media, it creates thumbnails according to the theme
   settings.
    Try changing the theme.

 * Thanks for the quick response. To my surprise, I discovered that the website 
   indeed has 10 image sizes registered. Woocommerce was creating the extra ones.
 * For my application, where I’m uploading a large number of images for a photo 
   archive, these media files don’t need these extra image sizes (e.g. the woocommerce
   ones). I wondered therefore if a useful enhancement you might consider for the
   future is to allow a user to choose to generate either the full set of image 
   types, or just the standard set (thumbnail, medium, large).
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for that new plugin. I still think that adding the ability to select the
   thumbnails required woud be a very useful enhancement for “Media from FTP”.
