Description
Not sure if this is a bug or a misconfiguration.
I am testing the module both on local server and on my online sandbox.
I noticed that during the creation of a slideshow node, attached images are firstly uploaded to the default uploads path (just files in my case);
then, after saving the node the attachments are copied to the slideshow image path (files/userimg in my case).
This results in a double copy of the images.
Is it possible to MOVE the files once the node is saved, instead than COPY them to the slideshow image path?
Also, I am using workflow+revisioning on this content type: may such beaviour be due to "interference" from revisions and/or workflow?
Thanks!

This is the intended behavior. The /files/ version is the original file as uploaded by the user; the version in /files/slideshow/ is the altered/resized version. If your images have the same size or are smaller as the default image size for the slideshow, the images are not modified.
The original file is kept so that the administrator can decide later to use bigger or smaller images for the slideshow.

Thanks for the clarification.
It makes sense, and I agree.
