thumbs which are not 4:3 get cropped

Hi pimp!

Since the big update, the thumbnail pics get cropped if their format is not 4:3, this can be quite annoying...

like this:

Before the update, white borders where added. My old pics still work like this. I can only provide adult content as example, but this one should be ok, hihi.

Is there any chance you could revive the old thumbnail layout?

Thanks, and P&H still rocks!

Clear. let me think how we can make it look better, this is a valid issue and i still didnt think of how to make it best.

Now it gets resized to fit the 4:3 format. Better than cropping, but it looks strange ;)

Anyway, it's great to see you're working on it, keep it up, yay!

We are done ;) Thumbs are now done properly!

Excellent job, pimp! Thank you! :cool:

Edit:
Seems to work nice :)

Besides, at the album view, the thumb pic still gets resized to 4:3... but I guess this is pretty unimportant. I just wanted to mention it.

Edit:
Here's a test pic of the album view, I created two thumbnails of a the same movie with Media Player Classic.
Left one has 8 colums, 2 rows @ 1024x178 and gets vertically streched
Right one has 2 colums, 8 rows @ 1024x1810 and looks fine

This was done on purpose so we wont ruin the layout of the site, else it would look ugly as hell ;)

but on the forum when you embed the thumbs all is gonna look slick.
