Hey Norman,

Hm, we don't actually have a settings for this but here's what you can do, edit the file /administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/mediamanager/mediamanager.php and at line 1287, change the codes below,

[gist]
$preferredVariations = array('system/large', 'system/original');
[/gist]

To,

[gist]
$preferredVariations = array('system/original');
[/gist]

This will ensure that when a new image is uploaded, it will always try to pick the original variation.

Just for the sake of completeness:

We are just pulling the original image in the frontend, overriding everything set in the backend for this.

Providing a hackish solution which is not update-safe isn't a good habit imho.

Hey Dennis,

I have added this as a feature request and we'll see we can add a settings for this on the next release.
