 * Hi,
 * Great plugin.
 * I was wondering if there is a way to limit the max number of attachments a metabox
   should allow to only 1.
 * Thanks

 * Hi yes you can set a `limit` when setting up your Instance, I’ll be sure to update
   the documentation. It’ll look something like this:
 * `'limit' => 1`
 * in your `$args` array when setting up the instance.

 * Thanks, works like a charm!
 * Only issue (minor) I am facing in that then when you have already an attachment
   it does not disable the “add” button but if you click on it, it will display 
   a “currently limited to 1” message, which I can’t find it in the .pot file to
   localize it.
