# Change automatically resized image names?

 * Hello,
 * I had hacked this in a previous version of wp, but it was overwritten in the 
   update to 3.5 and now I can’t figure it out, despite a few hours looking through
   docs and forums tonight. I feel like the old hack was in the wp-includes/media.
   php… But now nothing in there looks right or promising. I guess I’m looking for
   where the name of the newly created files are set.
 * What I want, specifically: When I upload a photo to wp, it automatically creates
   smaller images with file names like “image-200×131.jpg”. The problem is that 
   while I can easily make it so the width is always 200, I don’t know what the 
   height is going to be. Instead of “image-200×131.jpg” I want just “image-200.
   jpg”.
 * What I’ve tried: Editing of my theme’s function.php file using add_image_size.
   It ignored the name string I entered and instead used naming convention as above.
   Simple Image Size plugin – ditto.
 * I feel like this must be obvious, but I can’t find it and would appreciate help!
   Thank you!
