Excellent Plugin
It helped me put a file that I'd accidentally deleted back into the upload folder in the same place and then make it available again in the system in the old place.

impossible to register even one picture
Idea of the plugin is great. I don't know how to register a picture. Such program could be helpfull. I have instalation on Debian 12 running PHP8.2 MySQL 8.0.27 and WP 6.5.3. On my separate drive(/home/username/media) there are about 650 pictures with most of them are registered. If I tried to registered them all process stopped, but nothing else happened. No one picture has been additionally registered. In selection section all pictures are invisible even if registered and shown in media library. Also it is impossible to register even one.

Thank you so much
After a backup through ftp all db entries of the media were gone. This plugin fixed just right that! Do have a tip to improve: it would be nice to get the date of the image created and set than one because now all media files are from the date of today ;-) but hey, if that is the worst thing

Bug on cannot 100% upload the Meda Files and how to fix the bugs
Hi , As raised out by commentor "synthezoid" , I faced the same problem that the Plugin can only successfully register some of the files selected. Having investigating different parameters (e.g. File Extension Type / Upload Folder / FTP File Permission) , and I found out that one of the reasons (i don't know whether it has more than 1 reason or not) is that if the there is any " " (i.e. the "space") or "-" inside the File Name , the File will be failed to register in wordpress. I hope the author can fix the bug and it will be a good plugin again. Before author fix the bug, i suggest you can avoid using " " (spacde) and "-" inside the file name to avoid the bug.

Should be called "Some media register"...
...because it does not "bulk" register media, it bulk registers "some" of your media. Some it just leaves out. Doesn't tell you what it's leaving out, either, you have to hunt for it. All in all any time you save bulk uploading will be lost trying to find & reupload the things it didn't upload.MODERATOR: THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT REQUEST. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SUPPORT WITH THIS PLUGIN. I AM NOT TRYING TO REPORT AN ISSUE TO THE DEVELOPER OR GET HELP FROM THEM. I AM REVIEWING MY EXPERIENCE OF IT FOR BENEFIT OF FUTURE PROSPECTIVE USERS.
