 * Hi
 * Great plugin, but can I disable automatic compression that is made when I upload
   file to media library?
 * I want to compress manually only choosen set of files (Media library->compress).
   
   How can I achive it? I did not see any option in settings to disable automatic
   compression.

 * Hi there!
 * At the moment there is no option to turn compression on or off for specific images.
   All images being uploaded will be compressed. If you want to turn compression
   off you could deactivate the plugin when you don’t need it and then activate 
   it again when you want to compress images.
 * I hope this answered your question!

 * Hi TinyPNG,
 * I would also like the option to deactivate automatic compression on upload as
   it seems to conflict when i upload theme templates causing it to hang. I can 
   disable the plugin to resolve this, but it would be useful to have option to 
   disable the automatic compression on upload. Thanks!
