Looks like the upload_image process creates the same file in the both "files/images" and in "files/" directories
In a bigger website (in my case 35000 images) this sucks away lots of hard disk space.

If this behavior is normal, maybe a [delete file from "files" directory if we're loading an image"] function would solve this?

A cron script deleting every image in the "files/" directory will solve this without creating problems to the system.

What you think about?

cheers!

yeah, that's the way it works. it sounds like you might be better off with the image_attach.module included with the image module.
