First of all: Thanks a lot for this great extension!
In the global I18n Gallery settings I set the size of the preview images and activated cropping. The images really align nicely in the grid now as all of them have the same size.
In most cases the center crop looks good. However sometimes I would like to choose a different detail i.e. move the crop position because relevant parts of the image have been cropped.
I could create the correctly cropped thumbnails manually and overwrite the according image in data/thumbs. However I'm afraid the thumbnails will be recreated as soon as I change some gallery settings so that my manually created thumbnails will be overwritten soon.
IMHO it would be a great idea to add two more input fields to each image (besides title, tags and description): x-position-crop and y-position-crop (percentage values).
Default values would be 0, 0 which means center position. x=100 would move the crop area to the right. x=-100 would move it to the left, y=100 would move it to the top and y=-100 would move it to the bottom.
If you can give me some hints which parts of your plugin I'd have to modify to achieve this I can also try to implement it on my own.
Thanks a lot in advance!
