You need the Pro version
Last version adds notifications for some EXIF problems. You cannot deactivate this if you don’t pay. Goodbye.

Fantastic plugin that I can't live without
This is an amazing plugin that will save you so much time. The Pro upgrade is also really worth it and the support from the developer is some of the best I have ever experienced. The plugin really helps you pinpoint and diagnose errors, often well before you would notice them visually on the frontend of the site. Getting the error stack trace from the plugin also really helps you get better support from other plugin devs when their plugin has an error on your site. Highly recommended. Dale.

BEST PLUGIN - PERIOD
Shame on WordPress for notifying us of fatal errors but supplying no information. And HUGE KUDOS to the creators of this plugin who picked up the slack. This plugin will let you know WHERE the fatal error occurred, which is vital when troubleshooting. Why WordPress doesn't do this is a mystery. WordPress just get less and less user-friendly. It's plugins like this that help make WordPress better. HEY WORDPRESS - TAKE A LESSON FROM THIS PLUGIN. This is a HELPFUL plugin and it is USER-FRIENDLY. Unfortunately, all things that WordPress is slowly no longer being....
