[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Crop thumbnails?

So I’m looking for “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)” check box in NextGEN.
( https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Settings_Media_SubPanel )

anyone?

Ok, temporarily I did it with TimThumb.

nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php
src="https://www.*.ru/wp-content/themes/*/thumb.php?src=<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>&h=100&w=198&zc=1"

How did that go?

nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php

<!-- Thumbnails -->
<?php foreach ($images as $image) : ?>

<div id="ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" <?php echo $gallery->imagewidth ?> ><div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
	<a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> ><img title="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" alt="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" src="https://www.*.ru/wp-content/themes/*/thumb.php?src=<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>&h=100&w=198&zc=1&q=90" <?php echo $image->size ?> /></a>
</div></div>
<?php if ( $gallery->columns > 0 && ++$i % $gallery->columns == 0 ) { ?>
<br style="clear: both" />
<?php } ?>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- Pagination -->

How to install this patch?

Holix,
Thank you very much! At last, it works as it should.
What a pity, i didn’t see this 5 month ago.

tomboersma,
Manually.
There are paths of the files you should patch. Download them to your hard disk, then edit.

?@@? shows stroke and column to edit, ?-? shows what to cut, ?+? shows what to add. Everything else leave as is.

Then upload patched files to your site.
Don’t forget to make a backup of the old ones.

Thanks It fixed it. I saw that in 1.5.5 NextGen applied the edit-thumbnail.php patch (changed 1 to 3) but that did not make it. I wander why Alex Rabe does not look at this with more attention. It is an issue that has been around for some time now… Hey Al, R U there?

Thanks for the patched! Fixed it with that.
Hope this will get in the next version..!

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you so much for that patch. The irregular cropping was driving me crazy.

Hi, Can someone PLEASE tell me how to install this patch, what files to place and where or do I just go and delete. All I really need to do is to have the image become cropped at the desired size of 295 x 166 instead of stretched and/or blurred. Just one image. I see the patch works but I have no idea where to begin…Any help?
