Thanks for the quick reply – I now understand that you’re doing it the best way you can. Again, thanks for a brilliant plugin and the great support you provide here. I’ve donated a few dollars via paypal to show my appreciation – its not much, but hopefully everyone who uses the plugin does the same then you’ll continue your great work ??

Hi,

Thanks for your help, I have tried the ‘crop thumbnails to exact dimensions’ setting, but it only seems to control whether image is forced into the thumbnail size you’ve selected – it doesn’t seem to actually crop, just resize.

So, if I insert a portrait photo from Picasa and I use the ‘crop thumbnails to exact dimensions’ option, then the actual resulting thumbnail is 195×291 pixels (right clicking on it and selecting “View Image”), but its squeezed into my 195×150 box.

If I insert the same photo and do not use the ‘crop thumbnails to exact dimensions’ option, then the resulting imaage is still 195×291 pixels, but in my post, the thumbnail box is resized to 195×291, so its not squeezed, but its now not the shape I’d like.

Ideally, I’d like the photo to be resized as close as possible to the thumbnail size selection while retaining ratio (eg. size to 195×291 for thumbnail selection of 195×150). From there, I’d like to be able to select an area to crop (eg. “top”, “middle” or “bottom) to generate a thumbnail picture to meet the thumbnail size selection (eg. 195×150).

Sorry, I appreciate that I’m probably trying to do something that’s quite particular. If its not possible, its not a big problem – I’m sure I can maybe try and find some way around it, like manually uploading replacement thumbnails via FTP or something.

Cheers,
Bryan

Seems to still work okay for me – I’m using it to link to my Google Apps account, not sure if that makes any difference.
