 * I have already maxed out my providers settings but it seems there’s a timeout
   issue if I try to add more than 50 images.
 * As a work around I import the whole folder 45 images at a time but the selection
   is a bit time consuming.
 * Would it be possible to separate the image list by a certain definable number(
   e.g. 45) either by just creating several consecutive tables or by using tabs/
   pages? That way the “select all” would only select the table/tab/page and the
   timeout issue avoided.

 * Hi,
    Sorry, there’s no plans to split it up like that.
 * You may be able to import 45 images of the current size, or 20 of larger ones,
   or 1000 of smaller images before you hit the PHP/server timeouts, so this isn’t
   really viable.
 * A future version will switch to importing files one by one over individual requests
   with a client-side queue. There’s no timeframe for that however.

 * Hello, so it is not possible to put hundreds of picture in a folder and let the
   plugin do its job in the background ?
 * Thank you anyway.
