I'd be interested in that. Even if it were a separate little script-let, and not baked into the PhotoPost product.
I guess I just didn't anticipate very well. I have numerous users that have already "hit the wall" in terms of their upload limits -- after only a handful of images.
Not so long ago, when a 1.3 megapixel digicam cost $500+, most users had the skill set to resize their images before uploading. Now it seems that everyone and their brother has a 5+ megapixel camera, and no idea how to resize the images.
As long as one is not concerned about maintaining the high-res images (e.g., for high-quality printing in larger sizes), the config options you described above make sense. They will maximize the number of screen-viewable images that may be uploaded by all users, while minimizing disk resources, bandwidth, etc.
Future versions of PhotoPost might include more complex limits (e.g., downsize the MAX image to 2 megapixels or 1200x1600, and STILL make a 640x480 "medium" image). This would preserve a reasonable on-screen display AND the ability to print up to 5x7 or so -- while conserving space on 4 & 5 megapixel file uploads. Food for thought?
