How do I disable automatic thumbnail generation?
See subject. Every time I upload an image it creates a thumbnail that’s 425 px wide with no specified height. I don’t have any plugins installed.

Re: How do I disable automatic thumbnail generation?
What happens if you enter 0 (zero) in the width and height fields and then hit ‘create thumbnail’?
The width and height values, and whether or not to crop the image, are remembered, so with every new image upload a thumbnail will be created based on the settings that were used the last time.

That does not work. It ignores the 0 value and goes back to 425.

It also returns this error message in the upper left : Invalid width or height (0)/(0)

Re: How do I disable automatic thumbnail generation?
What if you don’t enter any values in both fields and then hit ‘create thumbnail’??

You can change the thumb_w (width) and thumb_h (height) settings to zero in the advanced preferences tab.

Ruud, I don’t see that option in 4.06 under the Basic or Advanced tab. Where is it supposed to be?

I had looked there before posting my reply, but I don’t see it either :( Not in upgraded 4.0.6 installs, and not in a fresh install.

Re: How do I disable automatic thumbnail generation?
Hmm… strange. I still have the preference, but I upgraded all the way from 4.0.3
If you have access to PHPmyAdmin, you can run this SQL query to disable thumbnail generation:
update txp_prefs set val='' where name='thumb_w' or name='thumb_h';For future TXP versions, what do you all think is the best solution: make thumb_w/h visible in the preferences again or simply allow people to set the thumbnail dimensions to 0 × 0 pixels and let that disable thumbnail generation instead of giving an ‘invalid dimensions’ error?

Re: How do I disable automatic thumbnail generation?
there ought to be an option in the images tab to set “automatically create thumbnails” yes or no
