Bug Description
I'm aware that the roadmap for 1.4 mentions resizing images on the fly for use in Views, however, I feel that it would be more appropriate to resize images when they are uploaded as this would avoid using too much of a user's quota. The way I envisage this is that the site administrator sets a maximum size and any image larger than this is automatically resized. Perhaps also there could be a checkbox when uploading to override this, in the rare case that an image needs to be full-resolution.

I've managed to get this developed by our local team. There is now a preselected option to resize any image to defaults set in the administration pages (we've gone for 1024 x 768), maintaining aspect ratio, which appears anywhere a file can be uploaded. The upload takes a little longer but it makes massive savings on space. I've attached a screen shot for information. Is there an easy way to contribute this back? I'm not an expert in this stuff but I can ask our developers to help out where necessary.
