| Per http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=453975 which is about to disappear...
When you upload a small image, there is a checkbox which will automatically resize
small images to their proper dimensions, would it be possible to also have an
option so that large images may be automatically resized to their dimensions
as well, assuming the aspect-ratio is correct? (640x480) This would save considerable
time when uploading new images.
Also: when uploading a large image, the small image for the appropriate colour
ought to be created at the same time.

Hi,
I voted NO.
When Admin implemented the small image resizing feature, there were for sure
reasons that he didn't implement it for large images as well.
From my experience it wouldn't make sense to resize all uploaded images to the
same size as there are several suitable sizes, depending on item type, item size,
details etc.
For example, most parts (but not all) are best viewed at 320 x 240 pixel.
Some vertical orientated parts would look better at 240 x 320.
Some larger or more detailed parts would look better at a larger size such as
400 x 300 but not necessarily at 640 x 480.
Having a large image resizer which would resize images to either 640 in width
or 480 in height would result in more work for the catmins and would slow down
the approval process as we then would have to tweak almost each image.
Already now a lot of the approval time goes by with tweaking images.
