How do I crop all my gallery thumbs at once?

I clicked on "Adjust Thumbs" under "Many Photos" but I can't figure out how to actually adjust the crop. All it lets me do is select thumbs and click "save"... which does nothing because I wasn't able to make any changes.

    That page only changes thumbs from square to original or original to square.

    Look under tools > This Photo > more > Crop thumbnail.
    Here you crop/adjust one at a time. But you can go through them all.

    Well, that's disappointing. Thanks for the info. That function didn't even enter my mind because I didn't think anyone would want to display both original and square thumbs in the same gallery.

    Maybe some day when I have 6 hours to kill I'll go through and crop my thumbnails...

    It's as fast or faster then anything they ever had. There was something named "Bulk Zoom Thumbnail" but you had to scroll down and set the crop for every thumb. But isn't that the point of this, setting crops other then the default square? With this new tool you can do one or any number you want.

    Well, all I really want to do is to be able to "grab" the image inside of the square box and "slide" it back and forth. Basically the same way facebook lets you adjust the thumbnail version of your profile image. If you could do that for a whole gallery on one page and then hit "save" it would be an enormous time saver for me. I could quickly go thorugh all the thumbs and make sure the heads weren't cut off at eye level, etc.

    Even if there was just a way to set a default crop ratio so I didn't have to change it from "original" every time, it would make things a lot less tedious.

    Set square under gallery settings, this will create square thumbs for every
    uploaded photo. Before uploading set this. Existing originals can be
    changed to square in bulk under tools. Changing individual photos to slide
    the square up, portraits, has to be done under tools > This Photo > more >
    Crop thumbnail. Centered thumb is the default.

    I already have square thumbs, I just want to adjust them quickly. As I said, using the crop thumbnail tool, even though the photo advances quickly after setting the crop, I still have to change the crop to 1x1 in the dropdown menu again on each photo as I go through the gallery.

    It's been asked to keep the ratio setting set for each session.
