 * Sorry to say that, but this plugin generates tons and tons of thumbnails in the
   server, which, like another user said, have to be ‘cleaned’ all by hand when 
   not needed….when it comes to big scale, like a 1000 images, it gets to generating
   1000*8 size images in the uploads. Unlike the description, you ‘can’ not generate
   new sizes but you ‘must’ do it, every size, for every image. Please look back
   your conception.

 * Hi,
 * The plugin only use the API of WordPress so there is no wrong conception. WordPress
   by conception generate all the image sizes so if you don’t want to have this 
   case of 1000*8 images, then you have to use WP_Thumb + a plugin witch only allow
   generation for the images inserted in the content.
 * But I can add to the description a disclaimer to remind the user that WordPress
   work in a way. I do not use more than the core API.
