You can turn off thumbnail creation with

Thumbnail size = 0

as written in the documentation. The PNG files are "thumbnails" (= smaller versions of large pictures). Mostly people put large images into elog entries, which take long times to download. Having small thumbnails insted speeds up download times considerably.

Hi,

We have a user who posted a lot of inline jpg.  The elog system converted those to png and thus cause the size of the elog to expand about ~4x of the original size.  It is caused the problem of entry size too large for email notifications.  Is there a way to turn off the conversion to png picture file?  May I know also know why it converts to png to store on the server?  Thank you very much.

Jacky
