 * Hi,
 * first I want to say thanks for this cool plugin. I’m planning building next version
   of my blog and I plan to use this plugin there.
 * I found a serious performance problem that affects those who have thousands of
   images in content folders. My blog has ~7500 images in total (mostly jpg and 
   png). When I start bulk convert then converted files are listed in layover windows.
   It makes browser very slow. I mean Firefox consumes ~80% of CPU and is barely
   responsive when bulk convert runs.
 * I would like to propose a fix that adds little more value besides performance:
 * 1. Keep list of converted files limited (let’s say 50 latest files)
    2. Add counter
   next to Pause button showing the process (<file no> of <files count>)
 * With best regards,
    Gunnar Peipman
