Hi,

I did some similar work recently, I noticed a certain number of
limitations with sfThumbnailPlugin, for GD at least:

- doesn't handle well the difference between portrait and landscape
format. If my thumb size is 400*300 and the pic is a portrait, I want
it to be automatically set to 300*400.
- doesn't handle well the scale option. It scales anyway, even when
set to false.
- doesn't handle well the squarize option, of course because it's
impossible to squarize well if you scale (other words, you HAVE to
crop to make a good square).

All these things are more complicated than it seems, it's some good
math actually. I've rewritten everything, and will certainly propose a
plugin/patch out of it, for the GD part.

What's your problem exactly?
