Description
When I click on 'Upload' in the Write page to upload an image, 2 files are created. The 'normal' file AND the 'thumbnail' file. The thumbnail - I am told - should not be automatically created unless I select that for the post.

Why would we give this option? We need the thumbnail for Browse All, as you said.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.

You were told wrong. The thumbnail is always created if the image is of a certain size. If it wasn't created, Browse All would take forever to load and be a huge waste of bandwidth.
The attached diff places a "Create Thumbnail" checkbox next to the Upload button. It will always be on by default. Do not submit a bug for an "No thumbnails by default" option elsewhere. You're lucky if this patch even makes it into 2.0 ;-)
