Is it possible to have the Coppermine to loose the thumb_ and normal_ files from the server.
One file per picture (just the original size) instead of three files per picture ( thumb_ + normal_ + original size) ?
I'm setting up my gallery at http://www.partanen.net/gallery (not released to the public yet) and am putting way over 20.000 images there so all the extra files, take up the space.
I have applied the fix for original size images hitting the counter. (had the from thumbnail to fullsize mod in use, removed it) Planning on the remote files mod to use my other web resources for hosting images.
Thnx a TON in advance. I'm a totel newb and have no idea of the code, what what dows etc. :o
EDIT:
Offcourse, i do not wish to have galleries without thumbnails nor the normal size images, I'd like to just loose the files. You know, on-the-fly thumbnails..

No. Coppermine creates the thumbnails and intermediate images during the upload process to eliminate unnecessary resource usage.

Okay, thanks for the answer.
Gotta start looking into the remote file stuff.

the thumbs use nearly no space at all. Instead of looking into ways to store pics remotely, just make up your mind on resizing the pics to fitting sizes before upload. I'm convinced that this will save a lot of hard disk space that can be used to store your thumbs. Additionally (if you have configured coppermine properly), no intermediate file will be created.

Well, heh.
Everything takes up space, more or less.
I resolved the problem, and now have a 4 gig webspace + 100gig per month transfer limit (noextra costs, just a banner, yay) ;D
I previewed the galleries without the intermediate size files, but didn't see it nice for my use, so that mod left the code fast :o
Actually, as the original question was answered.. I can see this thread solved.
