Different Thumbnails
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Project: Put together a gallery with a variety of different sized images.
Problem: All thumbnails are different widths and heights
To make all these images uniform I have cropped thumbnail versions. How can I add these to Highslide? I had this working perfect on my non-concrete5 site.

Thanks for the quick reply, I played around with the crop function before posting, it doesn't really have the effect I desire.
Take these two images for example:
http://www.awesomedesigner.com/img/folio/5.jpg...
http://www.awesomedesigner.com/img/folio/1.jpg...
In the first one cropping it would make the whole picture awkward, you can't even tell what the picture really is. This is where a custom thumbnail would work great:
http://www.awesomedesigner.com/img/folio/t/5.jpg...
In the second once you crop the picture the title text is missing or cut off. Once again a custom thumbnail would work perfect:http://www.awesomedesigner.com/img/folio/t/1.jpg...
Thoughts? I have some .php and .js experience if you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction.

I see your point....
This isn't an easy thing to do.
For this function we have to edit the addon and add the possibility to select an additional thumbnail for each image.
For now I don't see to many obstacles. Just another image selection I guess.
Right now I don't have much time to change this. But maybe we can help each other. Do you think you could change the addon with my guidance?

I'm up for the challenge. This feature would make my week and I'm willing to put in the time and effort. If it would be easier you can email me at "andrew@awesomedesigner.com"
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
This will crop all images to the same size (if the images are larger than the given width/height).
Edit the block
Open tab Image settings
Add the max width of the thumbnails
Check the crop thumbnail checkbox.
This should do the trick.
