feature suggestion: unsmushed suffix

    I have a site with both re-smushit and wp-optimize.
    I noticed that backups from re-smushit have the simple ‘-unsmushed’ suffix, while wp-optimize image backups are suffixed with ‘-updraft-pre-smush-original’.

    “pre-smush” and “original” are very clear, but “updraft” was a bit confusing to me before remembering that wp-optimize and updraft company is the same.

    I think I would prefer that the two suffixes be the same, to lessen ambiguites. What do you think?

    Hi there,

    I see the confusion. Using “wpo” instead of “updraft” would probably be more appropriate.

    Using the same as re-smushit might not be the right call, specially if both are in use. For example WP-Optimize enables you to delete the backups after some time. Having the same suffix would delete re-smushit backups as well, which wouldn’t be right.

    Thanks for the suggestion!
    Marc.

    yes definitely.

    Ehr… I don’t agree: that would be exactly the beaviour I would expect.
    You reason in terms of ‘plugin’, wpo vs resmushit, but I perceive (and I think the common man too) much more the service term “ReSmushit” no matter who is bringing it to the site.

    I totally understand the coder’s perspective (I immediately understood what was going on) but I doubt it would be appreciated from most users.

    Btw what about placing the backups in a subfolder?
    (I also would like to keep the thumbnails segregated from the full size images but never found the right place to do make the suggestion to the wp-core (hints?))

    Thank you
