PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - Toss Large Images; Keep Medium & Thumbs only?

Subject pretty well sums it up.

I have users who upload ENORMOUS images. PhotoPost properly resizes them for display to 640 x 480. But it keeps the full-sized image as well. My users end up exhausting their 2MB storage limit after only 5 pics or so.

Is there a way to TOSS the original, 1200x1600/400KB images, and keep ONLY the 640x480/75KB medium images (plus the thumbnails, of course)? I haven't yet found such a setting in the admin pages.

Better still would be to be able to select this behavior as an OPTION on a user-by-user basis.
