Hi
Thanks for the great plugin.
I'm having trouble with resizing the thumbnails. I want the height of the thumbnails to be 100px but it keeps resizing it according to the width.
In other words, when I set the dimensions to Width=50 and Height=100 it always chooses Width and then the thumbnail's dimensions end up at e.g. 50x110 or something.
Are there any solutions for this?
Kind regards,
Albert

yes i am having the same problem.
I want my thumbnail images to be a maximum of 100x50 in size, so I need this thumbnail to resize the longest side to fit within these constraints.
as it stands if I set these options within the plugins admin page the width size always overrides the length size, so never stays within the size limits I've set.
i.e. I have an image of 10x100 I want it displayed as a thumbnail in excerpts. I've set thumbnail image size within admin to 50x100px and it makes this image 50x500 high! so always breaks the size constraints.
need to resize the thumbnail by the longest size, otherwise its useless if your constrained to a limited area to show the thumbnail.
Hope someone can help.

I could be wrong, but here's what I think is happening.
This plugin isn't generating thumbnails, it's using the thumbnails that wordpress creates when you upload an image (I discovered this because I changed the setting in this plugin to 300x300 and my images came out all pixelated-- the reason being that it was scaling a 150x150 image-- the default thumbnail size that wordpress generated an image for when I uploaded my images-- up to 300x300).
What you need to do if you want your thumbnails a specific size is in WordPress, go to "settings > media" and change the thumbnail size to be the proportions / size you want. Note that this will only affect images that you upload after you change that setting (unless there's another plug-in that can automatically go through your images and regenerate thumbnails.)
The "Thumbnails for Excerpts" plug-in can scale down that thumbnail to whatever size you want, but it'll be the same proportions. If it forced your 150x150 thumbnail to 100x50, it'd be all distorted.
Hope this helps.
