I have a question: Is it possible to have the code delete the original (just uploaded) image after resizing into .resized.jpg and .thumb.jpg? I am looking to save server space, and want to avoid storing 700K+ original images when they are not used (I removed the feature to click on the resized image to view the fullsize image). What I am considering is finding a spot in the code just after the upload/resize process where I can insert a command to delete the original file (gotta research how to do that too). I am curious if anyone has ever looked into this, or if this is even possible and still keep the integrity of the gallery system. I would expect that choosing to resize the image would use the fullsize to build it again, though I would need to dig through the code to verify this, but I am not concerned since I will not be resizing the images again. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks. :grin: |

I don't recall this issue cropping up on the forums before so you
are probably on your own.
And please, this is a customization issue, please use the correct
forums when posting.

Gallery expects the original image to stick around. If you delete it you will eventually cause problems for yourself. You might try resizing the image on your desktop before uploading it, intsead (I think this is a feature of the new version of Gallery Remote)
