 * Hello,
 * just some feedback/question on the thumbnail regeneration. I run a photography
   website with >5000 images online, and I have THREE WooCommerce product images
   in my Media Library right now. What I’m trying to illustrate with this is that
   my site is centered around photos, not the shop. WooCommerce is a great add-on,
   but on my site, it’s really an add-on.
 * After I noticed that WooCommerce registers additional thumbnail sizes (that I
   neither want nor need), I went and disabled the cropping in the Customizer – 
   which caused WooCommerce to begin regenerating thumbnails for ALL of my >5000
   images!
 * Needless to say – this almost locked me out of my hosting (I found an older thread
   on how to kill this madness), and it is also ABSOLUTELY unnecessary to (re)generate
   thumbnails for thousands of images that have NOTHING to do with WooCommerce.
 * I don’t know if there’s a better way to do this, but right now, this is an awful
   implementation, and an awful experience.

 * Hey [@antermoia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antermoia/)! Thanks for 
   providing us with that feedback. I think this is a very good topic to be bringing
   to the [WooCommerce repository on GitHub](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce).
   This is where the developers collect all enhancement requests.
 * Please open up a new issue there. Thank you!
 * (PS. I’m setting this topic to resolved – not because it’s a solved issue but
   because there is no other status we can give a topic. Thanks for understanding!)
