 Scissors is a plug-in of mine that allows cropping of intermediate images,
 e.g. thumbnails. Although this operation changes the dimensions of the
 image, I decided against changing its filename to reflect the new
 width/height in order to avoid breaking posts/links that reference the
 image via its old name. This causes an inconsistency between the file name
 and the actual contents.

 Instead of appending {$width}x{$height} to the filename of intermediate
 images, I'd like to see the intermediate name appended, e.g. 'medium' or
 'thumbnail' to resolve this issue.
 Also, this would simplify retrieval of intermediate images because the
 database would no longer have to be queried to find the correct filename.
