Real Thumbnail Generator: Efficient regeneration of thumbnails in all sizes

Great and up to date


Another freemium plugin that's not even do what it's advertise.Stopped after about 30% of regeneration process, told me to rate the plugin and did not even allowed me to regenerate missing sizes - i need to regenerate all of them.Most of the features are blocked under paywall.That's not the proper way of introducing your product.
