# [Feature Request] folder scan

 * It seems that CompressX keeps track of the file conversion which does not recognize
   any manual changes (addition, deletion, etc.) inside compressx-nextgen folder.
   For those who already have converted images and wish to use them for this plugin,
   it would be a good option for the plugin to manually scan the existing .webp 
   and .avif files in relevant folders and update its database based on the scan
   results (by matching filenames, perhaps?). This avoids force re-processing all
   images (which takes days for thousands of original images and their thumbnails)
   and overloading server resources. Coming from other similar plugin such as [Converter for Media](https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-converter-for-media/),
   it was a redundant and time-consuming process having to convert all images for
   this specific plugin.

 * Hello [@keysuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keysuck/) ,
 * We appreciate your suggestion. It seems particularly beneficial for web servers
   with limited resources, such as shared web host, or those handling a large volume
   of images. We will evaluate its feasibility, discuss potential implementation
   and ensure you receive timely updates.
 * We are committed to enhancing the plugin’s quality and usability. Your feedback
   is invaluable to us, so please don’t hesitate to share any suggestions.
 * Kind regards.
