Hi,
I dont use regular representation of nodes, because, generally my nodes takes many pictures. When I want to display them, All of the pictures comes. What is required is, I think, there should exist a option to select only one image. This would make crowded the optionbox, lightbox, imagecaches etc but it would make us use the dispay setting. I guess many people would demand?

This feature won't be added because it would vastly increase the number of formatters (as if we don't have enough already). We'd need to double the number of formatters to provide this extra option. Every formatter would be duplicated: "[formatter]" and "[formatter] first image only".

In addition, ImageField is actually only responsible for the normal "Image", "Image linked to node" and "Image linked to original". ImageCache provides most of the other formatters.

I'd suggest theming your node content to only show the first image. Views also has the handy ability to only show the first image instead of all of them.

So I just want to verify if I understand correctly:
In the /node list of teasers in the default Drupal home page, I have to customize the theme files to get this "single image display on node teaser" effect?
