[Plugin: WP Rss Poster] Featured Image Option

We’ve looked at several RSS posting options and found this one to work the best thus far. It grabs full articles, pics and videos. GREAT! However, we have not been able how to control the featured image option. We’d like for the first image in the article to be automatically added as the featured image and NOT inserting into the article. Also we cannot figure out how to control the size of the image/thumbnail. We’ve set the image size under the Media options, but this plugin does not obey them. Is the problem with our template? Or is there something that needs to be changed in the plugin?
