 Currently, when I upload an image, it is saved to:

 wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/filename.png

 On upload, a medium-resized image is created and saved to a name like:

 wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/filename-300x280.png

 If I change my thumbnail or medium sizes in Settings --> Miscellaneous,
 this change is not reflected in the images already in the library, since
 they are only created on upload.

 Instead, they should be created when needed for display, based on the size
 setting, and change when the size setting changes.

 It would also be good if you could create a link to

 wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/filename-100x100.png

 , for instance, and instead of a "no posts matched your criteria", it
 would generate an image at that size on the fly.
