    Hello, firstly great plugin.

    I have found an issues which I hope you can help out. Unfortunately your plugin does not work with Post Thumbnail Editor (which is another useful plugin). I think it is because do not use add_image_size() to create your images. I think it would work well if it did and say added a ‘@2x’ to the thumbnail name e.g. ‘square’ would become ‘square-2x’ then you would be able to use Regenerate thumbnail plugins and auto generate thumbnails on update easily. Would this be possible at any point?

    Kind Regards

    Hello,

    Actually this is on purpose, the retina files shouldn’t be registered as image size, that would be a mess, the metadata would become bigger even though they are representation of the normal images, people would be confused in which images to add, etc… This would have no point.

    You should use the normal images, and totally ignore the Retina images. They are used automatically when needed but the users shouldn’t think about them, only the developer/maintainer of the website should make sure they are generated in the Retina dashboard but that’s all 🙂

    The retina images are automatically re-generated when using plugins such as Regenerate Thumbnails.

    Why don’t you crop the thumbnails with the internal tools of WordPress? There are also a few Image Sizes cropping plugins that work nicely with Retina.
