I would like to be able to have the images I upload automatically resized, and the larger, original version deleted. I realize that I can/should do this locally below upload, but Gallery is such an excellent program, if it would do this automatically, it would be superb.

Baring that, if anyone can recommend a good freeware/open source Windows program to batch resize images, that keeps the original EXIF data, I would be ver thankful. (I currently use PictureTray, but it changes the EXIF data.)

See Joan's answer for someone else, here.

It can be done... :)

I use IrfanView to batch resize my photos before uploading, keeping EXIF data intact. You have to download the program, and iv_misc.zip for the EXIF plugin. This program is freeware, fast and easy to use (before using IrfanView I used the command-prompt based ImageMagick to do this, it worked perfectly, but wasn't user friendly).
