I had high hopes for this plugin, but very disappointed. In my media library it added several columns, but jacked up that view so much that I get one image per PAGE as it seems to be incompatible with WP Retina 2x and Imagify plug-ins that also modify the Media Library view. As a result, with this plug-in the media view is totally useless. So I had to de-install this plug-in.
