Disable featured images or remove them all

    Hi there…

    One thing about WordPress that is driving me nuts, is it’s (stupid, sorry) inconsistent usage and lack of configurability for the featured images.

    If a featured image is set, it will be used in the Meta og:image tag too. For this reason, I set a featured image on a couple hundred posts (to preselect for Facebook preview), even though the Twentyten-Theme on my blog doesn’t really use featured images.

    Now if I update the theme to a newer one, all those old featured images will show up somewhere where I don’t want them to.
    If the post is just one image (= photo blogging) in most newer themes this image will show up as some kind of post header image if set as featured image. So the entry might look like this: “Image-X-Featured Headlinestuff Image-X-Postentry”. Why would anyone do this and not make it optional?

    Please either integrate some sort of “Unset featured images on all posts” maybe under “Tools” …. or … add some on/off thingy in the Design Customization that allows the user to disable featured images for the theme (but they can still be used in og:image).

    Would be great. Just saying.

    regards,
    Martin
