Option to revert to original images

[kornelski]

Please add an option to restore all images to originals. If there are any problems, like #3, users are unable to fix it and are unable to undo changes made by the plugin.

I'd also suggest adding a warning next to "keep originals" that it's a dangerous to overwrite originals and it should not be done unless users are very low on disk space.

I'd like to stress that this is very important. Some users are very unhappy that the plugin changes image URLs and are unable to fix it.

A partial way to revert is this:

1. Make a backup copy of wp-content/uploads folder

2. Log on to the server via SSH

3. cd to Wordpress' wp-content/uploads directory

4. Run this command:

find . -name 'wsi-imageoptim-*' -exec bash -c 'i=$(basename "{}"); cp "$(dirname "{}")/${i#wsi-imageoptim-}" "{}"' \;

(it's one line and all quotes and backslashes are very important to be pasted exactly).

It reverts images to original version where possible. However, it does not revert URLs.

Hi,

Could we not have an option that only runs through images that are NOT originals (E.G, domain.com/wp-content/uploads/**/*-*x*.jpg), so basically loop through images that do not match the GUID attachments.

Originals are never used on my websites as I get the client to upload high-res versions and then create WordPress Image Sizes of those originals.

Thanks,
Tom
