 * OMG this plugin is so awesome! Saved me a bunch of time uploading a pile of placeholder
   feature images. The problem is, I just dragged & dropped my real images over 
   top the placeholder ones (local dev) and now I have 2 thumbs showing up under
   the thumb column for each page/post.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * Hey – great that it’s helping you out.
 * I’m not sure I understand fully the issue you are describing.
 * Can you supply a screen shot (perhaps using [http://imgur.com/](http://imgur.com/)
   and that might help me see what’s happening.
 * Also, would you be able to, step by step, describe the actions you have taken
   when applying your placeholder feature images – that might help me recreate the
   issue and determine how best I can help.
 * Thanks again for using my plugin.

 * Ran some more tests. Looks like it’s only happening with [download monitor](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/download-monitor/).
   It’s no big deal, would just look a lot prettier if it didn’t look the way it
   does. I could probably re-assign them manually.
 * Screenshot can be viewed [here](http://inkgds.ca/dev/thumb.jpg).
 * What I did was come up with a file naming system for all my media. I created 
   placeholder images for everything before getting into the nitty-gritty of choosing&
   batch processing my photos (ie: create a placeholder image called foo.jpg, made
   it my feature image. Then when I’m ready I just replace my placeholder foo.jpg
   with the real foo.jpg in my uploads folder and voila, just like that, my entire
   site is populated with all the right images.
 * Might seem like a stupid idea but is working great for me so far, that is until
   I noticed this. 😉
 * Thanks Sean! You rock!!

 * NM man – it’s only doing it to Download Monitor because they already have a thumb
   preview. So when I have your plugin turned on, there’s 2 thumbs squished together.
   No worrys. Awesome plugin Sean!

 * If you have any further feedback on the plugin, any features or improvements 
   please don’t hesitate to open up another post here.
 * Thanks again for using my plugin.
