 * Hi Peter/Alan,
 * What Peter described is what I see, only the -scaled named images get duplicated
   in MLF, not the server side. However, from my testing, I found that it was not
   the file size that triggered the scaling, but the image dimensions (I understand
   this is a wordpress behavior not MLF’s). It is strange though that the -scaled
   filename causes the sync to assume it is a new file because it seems like the
   initial file synced to MLF already had that exact -scaled filename.
 * Peter, I will be looking into updating to php 7.2.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Peter and Alan,
 * Thanks for your responses. I’m glad that it is not supposed to happen because
   other than this issue, I think MLF Pro would be what I am looking for.
 * I tested a few scenarios and it seems like the duplication only happens with 
   images that are large in dimensions (for example 3000 x 2000), file size does
   not seem to trigger this though. For these large images, it looks like wordpress
   generates a filename-scaled.jpg version in addition to the other sizes. It is
   this scaled image that is synced to the media library, and duplicated with each
   sync. Other images that not scaled by wordpress are not duplicated.
 * Peter- the image names remain the same- filename-scaled.jpg, but the url appends
   a number to subsequent duplicates. I don’t have the library set to save in month/
   year folders.
 * Versions:
    WordPress Version: 5.3.2 PHP Version: 5.6.40
 * Alan, I will email you the System Info.
 * Thanks for the help!
