 * Hy.
 * I have a problem with image renaming. I had optimized images with shortpixel.
   Now when renaming them the suffix -scaled is added.
    For example: origin: image1.
   png -> destination: image.png -> result: image-scaled.png How can I turn off 
   this behavior?
 * By the way, I am very happy with your work. It’s a great plugin

 * Hi [@webnature](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnature/)!
 * The -scaled suffix is added by WordPress when the image is “too big”. That was
   introduced in WordPress 5.3, and here you have more information about that: [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/10/09/introducing-handling-of-big-images-in-wordpress-5-3/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/10/09/introducing-handling-of-big-images-in-wordpress-5-3/)
 * Because of that, I don’t think this issue is related to ShortPixel or Phoenix
   Media Rename, so maybe you can try to disable that feature and try again? In 
   the previous link you have the instructions on how to do so.
 * Let us know how it goes, please 🙂
 * Best,
    Alex

 * Hi [@webnature](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnature/),
    as [@shortpixel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shortpixel/)
   said, the -scaled suffix is added by WordPress when you upload an image larger
   than 2560px.
 * If the filename ends with “-scaled”, Phoenix Media Rename doesn’t remove the 
   suffix, even if you rename the file, but if you have found a bug and the suffix
   is added to files that doesn’t need it, let me know and I will work on a solution.
