 * Hi Jordy,
 * The plugin is great but I have a few images where I don’t have higher resolution
   images. For these select few I would like the plugin to ‘ignore’ these files –
   at the moment it makes a http request to try and load the files, which is returned
   with a 404 error as they don’t exist.
 * I noticed the plugin is collecting ‘ignore’ data from the wordpress dashboard,
   could the retina.js also check if the image is in the ‘ignored’ array, then if
   so, skip this file? By the way, I am using the client-side method because the
   site is on a windows server, iss6, and doesn’t work with the server-side method.
 * Many thanks.
 * As a separate suggestion, it would be nice if the script could scan background
   images added from the style.css file and check for retina versions there too.
 * Thanks,
 * Pete

 * Hello Pete! Sorry for the late reply, I thought I had replied to you…
 * Unfortunately the IGNORE function is just going to hide/ignore those images in
   the WP admin. In any case I change the behavior of retina.js! It would be possible,
   but very complex to implement unfortunately…
 * Background images? You mean images that aren’t included in the library? I don’t
   want to go beyond what is in the media library, as it will be difficult to manage
   the files… The retina support for the theme and main design should be handled
   separately (you just have to create the @2x files by yourself basically).
