Hello,
I hope I am in the right place here to suggest two enhancements for WP
core.
1:
From my perspective the most used image of a post is the post-thumbnail. I
use this post thumbnail quite often in different sizes - for teasers,
related posts, sliders etc. From a performance perspective I always want
to deliver the image in the correct dimensions. No 1600px image in a
related post section where the image is 200px wide etc. I am struggling a
bit because I often work on websites which have a lot of pictures in their
posts. When I add a new image size its always relevant for all images
which are uploaded to WP and often they are not necessary. I do not need a
200px wide image of 20 images which are used in the post - I only need it
for the post-thumbnail. From that perspective I would like to have another
function than add_image_size - for example: add_post_thumbnail_image_size
which is only triggered when somebody selected an image as the post-
thumbnail. This will save space on the servers as well.

Sometimes I have the case that I need the attachment ID of an url that has
been uploaded. For example: I delevoped a plugin where an image can be
chosen, the input field is a text field for a URL. In that case I need to
determine the attachment ID to have access to all the necessary WP
functions. In this case I built my own function that does it, but I think
it will also be a function that can be helpful if it is integrated in WP.
Looking forward to your reply.
In order to always get the image in the correct dimensions which are
