How do I disable automatic thumbnail creation?
From version 4.0.4 TXP remembers the size of the previously created thumbnail and applies it to every new uploaded image. How can I disable this function completely? I don’t want thumbnails being created. Thanks!

just remove the width/height attributes for the thumbnail size.

Doesn’t work. It will still keep the old thumbnail and will also create a thumbnail for every new uploaded picture. Using 4.0.4.

hmm you’re right. tested on 4.0.6 and the values just seem to stick. i could have sworn it worked before. i’ll take a look but im sure someone else will also chime in soon.

Set the thumb_w and thumb_h preferences to 0 in the advanced preferences.

ruud, do you mean in the admin tab – preferences (advanced)? if so, i can’t find such an option there.
also setting thumbnail widht and size to zero in the image edit options won’t do the trick.

i dont see these settings in admin->advanced preferences either (running v. 4.0.6)
setting blank or 0 for width and height in the image tab does nothing either. i’m quite sure it did work fine in 4.0.5?

If there isn’t that option in preferences, then you could remove vals from
thumb_w,thumb_cropandthumb_hin DB (with phpmyadmin) and it wouldn’t make thumbails automatically anymore.
Tried that, didn’t work. Thumbnails are still created.

i just tried gocoms method and it worked for me. so hmm. although thats hardly an acceptable solution and i think would be considered a bug? if i set thumbnail width/height in the image tab to blank or 0, then it should remember that setting but it doesn’t. i definitely remember this working in 4.0.5 at least though. i’ll doublecheck..

I have a 4.0.5 install and there’s no such option in the advanced prefs. Automatic thumbnail creation doesn’t work either – it’s sorely missed.
Where did it go?

Yes, seems like a bug to me as well. Could some of the developers comment on this? I’ll create a new bug report if needed.
