Suggestion: Save image for a limited time (a.k.a. auto-deletion) #2

So the image can be viewed unlimited times by multiple persons and is deleted automatically. Relative (save for N[m|h|d] e.g. 1h) and absolute (until d.m.y H:i:s). Would be pretty cool.

Because normally I upload things like screenshots and send someone (sometimes to more than one person) a link which may get viewed immediately or in a few hours and I don't want to remember days later to remove it.

Nice idea, added to plans.

In addition to that, the administrator should be able to set a "delete after X[d|m|...] without views" or if that's not possible a maximum storage time.

Because imho it's a common problem that a lot of images are orphaned and just taking space while nobody cares about them.

I don't want to remove images without views, because dead images is what I hate in other image hostings. For now storage is not a problem, it's only 231M. Maybe later I will remove orphan images, but time will be much longer, like 1 year or 6 months.

Okay, it works now with website and imgbi-client.
