One thing that I think would be very handy would be a resize option in the gallery configuration for when pictures are uploaded.

For example, I have setup quite a few galleries for friends/family/business associates/etc., but I would like to have limitations on some of them (as they are hosted on my own server).

Sometimes people upload pictures that are 1600x1200 (or larger), and it starts to eat up quite a bit of server space on the bigger galleries. It would be nice to have a configuration option during the gallery setup that allows you to set maximum size, such as 640x480. That way, if anyone uploads images that are larger than the specified size, they are automatically resized upon uploading.

I completely love the gallery software, but this one option would cut down alot of my administrative duties on the galleries I host, and I would assume it would help out alot of other people as well.

Are there any plans for an option such as this in a future release?

Hi. Already been done! (Thanks to killerblade who authored it) Yeah, it would be straightforward to put this into a future release and make it an optional setting in the Config. Wizard. If Bharat gives the go-ahead, I'll make diff files and get it installed.

Anyhow, onward to the code! I posted the links in your other post:
