Version 2.0.1 beta and thumb sizes

1. The size options SHOULD be identical. PTE doesn’t control these, they are set by themes (usually).
2. I don’t understand what you mean my “getting the featured-image pics in the exact size of the frame”. From my perspective the new version hasn’t removed any functionality, only enhanced the existing capabilities. If you modify a thumbnail that has an exact crop set (meaning the frame is precisely defined to a specific width/height) then the aspect ratio is set to that width/height ratio. If this is not happening, your post thumbnails are probably not defined correctly. See this for more information.

   If you post the results from this query https://site/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=pte_ajax&id=108&pte-action=get-thumbnail-info, I can give you more information. Change the site and the id fields. (You can find the id from the pte-id of a PTE page.</p>

This is one of those times when things start becoming clear very, very quickly… and all because of my lack of knowledge on the topic.
For some reason I thought that thumbnail sizes were defined by the plugin. What is more, I mislead myself even more not realising that the last time I saw PTE interface was on a different theme than now… shame on me.
The query you sent me results in:
{"thumbnail":{"width":"120","height":"120","crop":"1","current":false},"medium":{"width":"300","height":"300","crop":false,"current":false},"large":{"width":"1024","height":"1024","crop":false,"current":false}}
which brings even more colour to my stupidity ??
So now please just forgive my dumb question and I will just go to read the reference on defining new image sizes…

Great! I’m glad I could help, and don’t hesitate to post a comment if you see any problems or have any suggestions for my plugin.

You made me smarter today ??
I defined a new thumbnail size with fixed crop and now 2+2=4 ??
Thank you very much for your help and sorry for the unnecessary fuss.
