Okay, there's lots of other stuff to add than 1-2-3 sort . Probably have a rename app hanging around my drive, will dig through and try for the next album. I've got so many album file copies, what's one more.

I'm just getting the sorting done before trying the squares and the CSS for baseline alignment (another thread).Decided FOOD takes priority. Will reply after I give it a try...

I've got my thumbs in "squares" with my head chopped off above my nose! it's really funny seeing a nose then the rest of my body . The size is what I want, the method (crop) isn't. Will see how other images are when I get to the other albums.

A good renaming program I use myself is Renamer4Mac: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10158/renamer4mac

I really don't understand how you ever would get square thumbs from none square images without either squishing or cropping...

Squishing is how the album I did previously did it, per my settings of portrait side = landscape side. I prefer to see everything squished (sizing is key) than cropped and not identifiable At least I'd have a full head.

Ok, do as you wish to. I just find squisching far more awful than cropping...:-)

Sorry to bring up an old subject but I don't want my thumbnails cropped BUT I do not have the selection you specify in my admin/Option/Image view:

macalter ... the confusion about cropping is killing me!

You do not have to have square cropped thumbnails! Go into your admin panel, click Options tab, click Image Display tab, and uncheck the box next to "Crop thumbnails:" (8th from the top). The thumbnails will not be cropped!

We would never be daft enough to force you into cropping! It is the default, but you can change it easily. Sorry for the confusion.

Its in the theme options
