Dear SM Santa,
I've only got a couple of small requests for you this year to make my SM workflow easier. I know I've asked for these before, but I'm still hopeful that one day they'll show up under my tree.
1) For galleries configured to use square thumbnails, it would be fabulous if the Crop Thumbnail tool would default the Crop Ratio to 1:1 instead of Original.
2) Saving changes to thumbnails is s-l-o-o-o-o-w! It seems like this step could be sped up tremendously for users if clicking Save Crop just posted a message with the photo id and the 2 coordinate pairs for the thumbnail to a queue. The actual thumbnail generation/update could be handle async.
Fixing (1) would save me a lot of clicks each time I upload a new batch of photos. Fixing (2) would save me probably 30-45 mins whenever I upload a new batch of photos, not to mention reducing bandwidth for SM based on local processing of the thumbnail instead of uploading it.
3) If Santa is feeling really generous, then I'd love to see Smart Galleries that actually worked. Seems like the elves trying to fix it may have had a little too much "nog" in their egg nog
Thanks,
Jay
