But %w in a file is also transformed to the image-width, and also when not using a file isn't it (at least according to my test)? So I don't see the difference. How could it break an existing site then? Perhaps not creating a file is a bit better for performance but I would prefer correctness, and simplicity, also because the penalty is very little because the result is cached in a icache object anyway.
