if you don’t want to host the re-sized image then this plugin won’t be
suitable for you
you can you alternative like call the image normally and re size it via css in your style css page

ehm, i think didn’t express well my problem.
I’d use autothumb for generating thumbs, not to get a copy of each of my images as they are.
This plugin would be very useful to get post images thumbnails in post listing pages, producing and caching images thumbs dynamically resized depending on the graphic needs.
Ie. using a theme which uses 2 size thumbs for post i can use 2 custom fields, with the same image src but with 2 different output size, maybe defined in php code.
Whenever i modify my theme, i just have to change sizes in the definitions in php and probably everything will be ok.
But as it is now it is just blindly making a cache of every image on the blog content at 100% size.
That’s definitely to build redundancy not for generating thumbs.
The fact is that the plugin is generating thumbs even when there are no size attribute specified in the htm code, and this make its use uncontrollable.
As for now i solved commenting out
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘autothumb’);
so it doesn’t apply automatically to the content.
Hope i was a little more clear now 🙂
Hey,
I just released version 0.4.2 (should be available in a few minutes) which allows you to switch off the filter on the_content via admin panel and adds some more features 🙂 Just take a look at the plugin homepage.

Thanks, gonna check it later pal.
I’m actually using autothumb along a modified “get the image” to make the tumbnails for my blog.
Will send all authors (You/Get the image author/the unstandard theme author) the modified code version also later.
