 * Hi there,
    first of all awesome plugin. I have been looking for something like
   that for a couple weeks now until today when I finally stumbled upon your plugin.
   It works just fine.
 * But I guess you can still improve it. Two things I would suggest are:
 * 1. Change the fonts you use to normal WordPress fonts. (Just a suggestion)
    2.
   This is actually a feature request. When you have you post thumbnail size set
   to crop, your plugin actually allows me to resize the frame, that actually defines
   the crop area, proportionally, which is great. But it would be even better, when
   this little fram would turn green once the amount of pixels inside the frame 
   is higher than the amount of pixels you need for a non-stretched image in that
   postthumbnail size.
 * Example: Let’s say my postthumbnail size is called “small-tile” and has a size
   of 100×200 pixels with cropped enabled.
 * Now I can change the crop area, but I don’t actually see when I have at least
   100×200, so I could end up with a 50×100 area selected which means the image 
   is getting scaled up and so loses quality.
 * If you could just add this little feature the frame would turn green once you
   reach at least 100×200 and then stays green. So if you resize the cropping-frame
   to 50×100 it would stay white and if you resize it to 100×200 or above it would
   turn green and stay green, because this indicates that the image area that we
   are about to crop is actually big enough for the system so that it doesn’t have
   to stretch the image.
 * Maybe you can also add a field that shows the actual size of the selected area.
   If it is too hard to turn the cropping frame green you can also just color these
   fields green once you reach at least the size of the actual thumbnailsize you
   are working on.
 * Hope that makes sense. Because I showed your plugin to a client today and you
   know how clients are. He cropped a smaller portion of the image, that portion
   was smaller than the actual postthumbnailsize and so the cropped image got scaled
   to fill the size, which made it blurred and ugly.
 * I will wait for you answer and then I will actually donate because I would like
   to support you and your great plugin.
    And don’t get me wrong these are just 
   feature request or ideas for improvements.
 * Looking forward to your answer.

 * I think those are both great suggestions. I’ll look into implementing them, but
   I can’t give a solid timeframe because I have other work and family to juggle…
