Anyone know a way we could hook some code into this to change the number of media items per page?

Caveat 1: the “Image Insert” dialog still shows Full-Size image as an option. However, if you try and insert this into the post it will display a broken image link.

Thanks for the link.

I have just been through the uploads folder and deleted all images that were bigger than 0.5MB. It appears that the website still works fine with all the resized images showing correctly.

My conclusion is that, once WordPress has created the required resizes, the full-size image is redundant on the server and can be deleted safely.

If I encounter any caveats I will post here.

OK, so WordPress requires the full-size image on the server before any additional resizes are produced.

If I was to then manually delete the full-size images from the ‘uploads’ folder, would this cause any dysfunction with the WordPress engine?

I guess the easy answer is to re-size images to manageable size before upload. But this requires image manip software, adds multiple extra steps for every upload.

Lets see if anyone else comes up with a plugin that may pre-resize the full-image during the upload process…
