Well I know it was stated that this hack was no longer going to work, but up until a few days ago it continued to function. When will SM create a function such as this as part of it's normal tools? Please do not state that SM has a thumb cropping tool already. Yes it does and if I need to crop a large gallery of pics it will take me forever w/ the current tool. Please tell me some for thought was going on before killing this much needed tool.

    I think it was Sat. eve it was last working, my internet didn't come back till
    7pm Sat. allowing me to process and upload Friday's photos. The tornado
    really messed my neighborhood, now a major road bridge over interstate 70 is
    closed. At least the airport is starting to open.

    Hope everything is OK with you. Sorry to hear about your neighborhood.

    Where is BULK THUMBS ADJUST?!?!
    Has there been any update from SmugMug on this? It's a ridiculous omission to not provide us with some way of adjusting thumbs in bulk...

    Do we have some sort of official word that we're SCREWED on this? 'Cause reading the boards, the silence from SmugMug is deafening. headscratch.gif

    If they made a couple of small changes to the "Crop Thumbnail" tool it could
    easily replace BZT.

    1. At first thumb crop, keep ratio picked for current run-thru of thumbs.
    2. When clicking "save", process/put thumb in background/queue and
    immediately go to next thumb. Jumps to next thumb now after process.

    Pros:
    Above changes would require no waiting between thumbs, less clicking
    then BZT therefore faster. "Crop Thumbnail" allows smaller crop then BZT.

    Only rant with "Crop Thumbnail" and "auto go to next thumb" it's difficult to go
    in reverse order from somewhere in the middle of the gallery.

    Lookie what Smuggie snuck into the system. clap.gifclap you can put BZT to
    bed. The newest changes to the tools > crop thumbnail tool are great. It now
    puts the thumb in a queue when hitting save and immediately jumps to the
    next thumb. No more waiting. wings.gif

    Only minor con is the ratio has to be picked with each thumb.
