 * Hello, first of all I love your plugin I’ve been searching for a simple working
   one and I finally found one. One thing though is it possible to have an option
   to set the max height of an image? Reason why I think this would be nice is if
   there are trolls on the website that upload an image this is lower then the max
   width I set but has like 5000px height the image will still be big to load.
 * Thanks Poi5on

 * Hi, sorry for the slow reply – the WordPress site didn’t notify us of your message.
 * You’ll be glad to know we’ve just added the Max Height support so that when you
   upload portrait orientated images, they will be scaled down to the maximum height.
   Note that landscape oriented images will always resize to the maximum width (
   even if the height is greater than the defined maximum height). We found that
   this behaviour better suits a plugin like this where it pretty bluntly reduces
   image sizes, as opposed to making images fit within a box which is better suited
   for presentational resizing tools (e.g. WordPress functions or TimThumb).
 * If the “box-resizing” method is preferred though, we will look to include it 
   as an option too.

 * I would really like to have the box-resizing method there also.
    This way I could
   use the plugin like this:
 * – almost al the images I want to give the max width 350 px (height does not matter),
   so this is saved as the original, WP only makes a medium and thumbnail, because
   my large settings are bigger.
 * – When I need a bigger image for the width of my content (640 px) I will shut
   down you plugin for a second so I can upload a bigger image.
 * This way it saves me even more space on the server.
    So the plugin should also
   be able to only listen to the width (not depending on landscape or portret image).
 * If that would be possible, thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Take a look at my response in your other thread: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/resize-question?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/resize-question?replies=2)
 * It should offer a resolution to your problem.
 * Glad you like the plugin!
