Yes, I know that you can leave the original image (ie. not resized) in this 
page, and people can use "save as" to get it. But for high resolution images 
(>5 Mpxs), people can't see properly this page on a standard screen, and it 
becomes unusable. So i think it's better to keep a "big" thumbnail, which fit 
in a screen, with comments, date, navigation... and leave access to the 
original image as a link, so they can use their browser or whatever soft to 
open this image and use their own (auto)zoom.

I modified the patch to enable this option only when "Resize target images" 
option is checked.

BTW, all other "target thumbnail" options are enable when "Resize target 
images" isn't checked, which can be confusing.
