 * Hello,
 * Just wanted to know if there was a function to prevent NGG from creating thumbnails,
   I do not need thumbnails as I have JIG to create it via Timthumb and it takes
   up processing power when I import images.
 * Also wanted to know if there was a way to prevent the folder names from being
   sanitized to lowercase, and instead, to keep it the way it was typed out?
 * Thanks

 * [@lilap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilap/) – Unfortunately, the answer
   to both questions in this case is no.
 * Thanks for asking!
