The option „Ignore images in revisions“ has an ambiguous meaning in my opinion. It can both mean
  • a)„ignore the images in earlier versions of the pages, so leave them untouched and do NOT delete them“ and

  • b) „don't give a sh*t about these images and earlier versions of the pages, just delete them, regardless to what that means, when one wants/needs to revert to an earlier page version!“ (which is what this option actually does)

In order to make this option less ambiguous, I would retitle it to: „Also delete images only found in previous page revisions“ (or in german: „Bilder, die nur in vorherigen Seiten-Versionen vorkommen, ebenfalls löschen“)
