Really useful

It was a long time I was looking for this kind of functionality. Very good job! Thank you for this awesome pluing. I suggest to add the possibility to replace the images with images that are already in the media library.

Did not work

Previous review was "Doesn't always replace other sizes."

Tried this plugin again. This time it just didn't work at all. Drag and drop to replace did not work, and then when I had the image selected, clicking the button to continue did nothing.
