watermarks and crops

sskoutas

changing the watermark for a gallery wipes out all of the previously set custom thumbnail crops. Is there a way around this?

No biggie... just thought I'd ask.

No, there's not, I'm sorry.

Andy, i wanted to throw out a user comment or two about the new thumbnail crop screens. I think there might be a few too many clicks required to crop a thumbnail and the overall process is a bit slow. It might also benefit from shuffling components around a bit. I am mentioning this for the sake of customer feedback only; it isn't a gripe.

Find your photo
click Tools (top right)
This Photo: More > click crop thumb
(bottom left) click select crop ratio
drag crop edges
click save crop (bottom centerish)
wait (I seem to avg 15-20 seconds)
click back to gallery (center)

I'm counting 5 clicks that cover a good portion of the screen. The last click (back to gallery) seems useless to me as it is the only option. All of the other clicks are needed, but maybe they could all be relocated to the top right where the command initiates from.

The biggie would be if the cropping could happen in the background so that after the user clicks "save crop" they are immediately brought back to the gallery.

The bigger biggie would be if we could have "bulk thumbnail crops" per gallery whereby you could click into it, see all of your photos in a vertical column (like bulk captioning), set one aspect ratio for all of them, buzz down the entire line and set the crops as you wish, then click save and let everything else happen in the background like bulk watermarking does.

All suggestions only, and thank you for the quick reply as always.
