Regenerate Image Order

[turtlepod]

I was working on a large site, 150+k images. and the images need regenerated.
I ran the script for 4-5 days, and it failed at around 80%.

I think it currently process the media entry one by one using ASC order (by IDs) ?

It would be nice to be able to switch the order.

Adding a way to switch the order seems rather arbitrary to me and only solves the problem you're facing as a side-effect.

I was already thinking of accepting ranges for all the commands that take one or more IDs.

So, you could do something like wp media regenerate 25000- to regenerate all existing IDs of 25000 and higher, or something like wp media regenerate 200-300 to regenerate all existing IDs between 200 and 300.

I think that would solve your particular problem (restarting after the point of failure) and would probably fulfil some other use cases as well.

That would be a great solution.

Same problem here!
