Truly this is a great plug-in it saved me hours, i managed to install and use it in a few clicks.
I have noticed one thing thou, when i enabled SEF URL's and atleast 1 thumbnail images in an article, the images gets a link which is not actual link readmore is pointing to, hence when i click on thumbnail link, i go to different location and when i click readmore i go to somewhere else (the right location.)

I like the idea of this plugin very much, and it works, but ... only when the standard ReadMore-button stays active. Then you have 2 ReadMore "buttons", which is one too much. And that's the sad part.

Please update to v2.3, and hide the standard button through
Content->Article Manager->Parameters->Read More...Links.
However, I still recommend to keep the standard Readmore button, since some articles don't have images.
You can close the standard readmore button unless all your articles have images.
Congratulation! It's an excellent and useful plugin.
It's a very, very good Plugin, which does exactly what it intends to do: let the first image of an article has the same function that has the "Read More" button. Whatever, I missed something: if the image has the same power that the "Read More" button, why the Plugin don't give some option to hide this button? Anyway, it's very usefull!
Owner's reply
In fact, Joomla Core already have the option to hide the "Read More" button.
Content->Article Manager->Parameters->Read More...Links
Please select "Hide".
Installed, activated and it just worked!!! amazing!! really simple really usefull!!!
that's a great plugin and works straight after the installation. It doesn't work on frontpages that are using FrontPagePlus component, but still deserve 5 stars, great job
This little gem automates the process of turning your front-page article intro images into hyperlinks to the complete article! Because sites are graphically designed, many will click on your intro image instead of the readmore link. This solves that problem.
Up in a snap, easy to use, works like a champ! If you use images in the introduction of your articles, this one is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE!

Took me 3 seconds to get this set up. And it makes the click through on the category blog entries way more intuitive. Great extension!
