Any way to just use original + thumbnail ?

Hello

First of all, thanks for the great plugin :)
Second, I'm wondering if it's possible to just use the original uploaded image as main image without duplicating it to create the "main" version ?

The thing is, I optimize and sharpen and prepare the images before uploading, so I really don't want GD to re-compress the JPEG file or duplicate it on the server ...

Does the "Keep original image size, don't resize." setting for "main" do just that, or does it duplicate / re-compress ?

Thanks

"Keep original image size, don't resize." copies the original to main. no gd involved, so no processing/recompression by gd.

however, it copies the original, so there will be two identical files one in the main folder one in the original folder. guess this isn't crucial until you are really limited by disk space. still, i might want to change this in a future version.

ok great, thanks !

by the way, I disabled the subfolder structure for all folders (the year-month thing) to make import from another system easier, i hope this does not cause any trouble. I changed the core variable defining the original folder...

Hi,
I have the same problem, I only need 2 image sizes (thumb and main or thumb and original), and having the third one uses too much space in my server.

Did you find a way to do that?

Thanks
