 * Is there a way to disable the thumbnail preview row in the album/gallery admin
   pages and also disable the automatic creation of thumbnails when images are scanned
   in or imported when a gallery is created?
 * We do not need the thumbnails since we just use TimThumb.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@lilap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilap/)!
 * I think you will be able to hide the thumbnail preview from those administrative
   pages using some CSS customizations.
 * But the difficult question is how to disable the automatic creation of the thumbnails.
   
   At this moment I don’t know if that’s possible. I’ll contact the dev team and
   see what they have to add to this question. We’ll keep pos posted.

 * Hi [@lilap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilap/)!
 * Relying on an external plugin for thumbnail generation for NextGEN Gallery could
   produce unexpected results, and strongly suggest that they take advantage of 
   NextGEN’s ability to do dynamic thumbnail generation.
 * Otherwise, you’re free to modify the NextGEN source code but unfortunately, we
   wouldn’t be able to support those kinds of modifications.
 * Let us know if you have more questions.

 * Hi [@lilap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilap/)!
 * As an extra note:
    We’d suggest looking for alternatives to Timthumb due to security
   concerns: [https://wpengine.com/support/best-practice-dont-use-timthumb/](https://wpengine.com/support/best-practice-dont-use-timthumb/)
