Brilliant plugin with awesome support!
This plugin provides a very comfortable interface for fixing media attachment issues and getting rid of redundant media files. After using it a bit, I made some suggestions to the author and the response was just superb. I hope this plugin will soon be featured by WordPress, because it's very useful.

Genuinely useful and well written plugin!
I came across this plugin almost by accident, but I'm so glad I did. The unattached media thing had bugged me for years. This one simple plugin fixed all that in minutes! It scans your media library and presents a range of super-useful data and options for how to attach media and delete unused files. The UI is really nice, it's easy to use, highly recommended.
