Hi

for the function `rw.resizeResource` in the hooks. Do you plan to have 2 parameters for the width AND the height? Could be contained when transforming.

Would be cool to autogenerate square thumbnails.

Hey @Beblebroks

We don’t currently have plans for this as it’s better to crop using an image editor where you have better control. However, you can easily use css to present a rectangular image as a square thumbnail.

Is there a particular use case you have in mind?

Use case would just be to have them squared. And as I meant I would keep it simple. No options just a “contain” on what ever size you specify.

And it would mean you would have all correct sizes available. You would save as well a bit on bandwith if the images are always the correct size.

In general I agree with the sizing in an editor, but I am thinking about users who just throw in huge images. And then it would be handy for “DevPacks”

Yeah just some thoughts. From my side I know how to work around it. 😃

Thanks for the feedback.

Yep ok, I’ll pop it on the list 👍

Hi @tpbradley,

below settings would work to achieve what I wanted with a normal Image component. Won’t help with thumbnail size and DevPacks. But the look is the same that I try to achieve:
