Excellente. Thank you both. Both suggestions work (I tried acrylian's suggestion first, then fixed the code).
Now I have another question... it appears as though the "Thumb size:" checkbox dictates how big the thumbnail is on shortest side... is there a way to make it define the longest size instead?
Here's how it looks now: http://zerflin.us/ZenPhoto/index.php?album=works
You could try replacing the imagethumb() function in your theme's image.php. We have a (experimental) function called printCustomSizedImageMaxHeight() that gives you the possibility to set the maximum width with the common size option in the admin and the maximum height within this function.
