 * I am very interested in your plugin but have a problem with the thumbnails which
   are generated within the same folder. The reason is that I need a folder with
   images that I can iterate through thus having control over a custom slideshow.
 * Is there a way to have the thumbnails in a different directory or just not create
   them?
 * Do you have any thoughts that may help me?
 * The idea is to not scp the images to that folder and stay within the CMS capability
   of wordpress
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fthumbnails-111%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The thumbnails images are automatically generated by WordPress in the same folder.
   WordPress uses these images. If you move them to a different location, WordPress
   will not be able to find them. The images in the media library will be blank.
   You would need to create your own images.

 * Thank you,
 * I do not need WordPress to find these relocated images because they will be iterated
   through via javascript.
 * The issue for me is that when I move the image via your plugin, the new directory
   also creates new thumbnails.
 * Why don’t I want them? Because the script will take any images in the folder 
   which means the thumbnails too and that messes the slideshow.
