 * Hi, the plugin is major improve from past versions. Thank you for that.
    But 
   some issues still prevent it from working on some sites like ours.
 * Step 1/5: indexing attachments and invalid meta [Fatal Error!
 * Uknown error: Please see returned value below
    0.000530958175659
 * I think this could be due to too many images?
    We have about 100 000+ images 
   and thousands of posts.
 * Perhaps you could have also an option to scan per category based.
    For example:
 * /www/wp-content/uploads
    /www/wp-content/uploads/01 /www/wp-content/uploads/02…/
   www/wp-content/uploads/11
 * This way you can focus it only on a new directory and skip all the previous months
   which includes many thousands of pictures, that you already cleared?
 * Or if it works on post data, perhaps a Date filter? to only scan posts in August.
   Something like that.
 * Thanks again for your great work on this useful plugin.

 * This is indeed an timeout error due to the amount of images. This is a issue 
   which I am trying to solve this weekend. The pseudo code is already done. Now
   I have to write and test it.
 * There is already an exception option in the plugin. You could add all the part
   of parts which you would like to avoid to be indexed. I might expand this if 
   need arise, yes.

 * The code has been finished. Now I need a website where I am able to test the 
   script.
 * As its still a bit early I am awaiting response from two very nice testers.

 * Hi, inTOWN. Could you please start a new thread with your issue?
 * I believe I already fixed the issue. Now the plugin is able to process an X amount
   of images in each Ajax query.
 * The new version will be released later today.

 * Let’s wait with the new thread until I updated with your new version. Can’t wait,
   have about 100.000 images to scan.

 * I have just uploaded the latest revision. For so many images it might be necessary
   to increase the PHP memory size and PHP script execution time.
 * Of course I am working on trying to use less memory and more quick/split up scripts.
   However this could take some time as I have to rewrite some parts of the code
   completely (happy to do so).
 * Please let me know how this version is working for you.
