Hi Andrew,

This is how the system work:

 1) Primary download file field
  type: can be any type of file
  limits: subject to restrictions by the selected category, license and
your quota limit
  shows-as: "Choose a file..."
  used-in: download button and full-view button (for images)

 2) Rendering file field
  type: raster images only
  size: resized to 780x600 or smaller upon upload.
  shows-as: "Choose visible image..."
  generated: It will be generated from the download field should the
download field be an image and none user specified. We currently don't
render svg files though.
  used-in: item view page, if not available thumbnail is used on the
page.

 3) Thumbnail file field
  type: raster images only
  size: resized to 190x190 or smaller upon generation
  show-as: NOT SHOWN TO USER in the upload field
  generated: Always generated from the 'rendering field' after the
rendering field is possibly generated from the download field.
  used-in: gallery listings, if not available a mime-type icon is used
in it's place.

The upload form is configured to give errors ranging from image-size,
file-size and many other such errors. If there's a situation where you
upload a rendering and it only appears as a 190x190 thumbnail and the
original image seems to have been eaten by a gru, let me know, this is
a bug.
