 * Hi there,
 * First and foremost, thanks for the recent update of your brilliant plugin. It’s
   great to see that it’s getting better and better and I completely understand 
   your considerations expressed in the ‘[[PLEASE READ THIS] About Plugin Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-read-this-about-plugin-support?replies=1)‘
   thread. Fair enough, and again, thanks for your great contribution to the WordPress
   community.
 * I hope though that it’s not inappropriate (keeping your announcement in mind)
   to point out an issue I’ve experienced with the recent update of the plugin. 
   My situation is that I’ve previously, and with great success, used Retina together
   with [Manual Image Crop](https://wordpress.org/plugins/manual-image-crop/) as
   a way of cropping my thumbnails whilst also serving 2x images. This has been 
   particularly effective as I am using 3 different sizes of thumbnails. Now, the
   recent update of Retina also comes with manual cropping of thumbnails (which 
   is great!), but it overrides and disables the functionality of [Manual Image Crop](https://wordpress.org/plugins/manual-image-crop/)
   and only allows me to either crop all images at once _or_ only the standard size
   thumbnail. This means that I now cannot crop my manual image sizes, which I find
   crucial.
 * I was therefore wondering if you see any immediate manual solution to this issue
   or if it’s something we can expect a solution to in the next update? If so, then
   it would be good to know when you expect to release the next update, as if it’s
   not anytime in the near future, then I’ll look into alternative solutions and
   test to see if Retina also overrides the functionality of other manual image 
   cropping plugins.
 * Thanks in advance and kind regards,
 * Jonas
 * **\*\*\*UPDATE\*\*\***
 * I’ve worked out how to get the functionality of [Manual Image Crop](https://wordpress.org/plugins/manual-image-crop/)
   back – it had nothing to do with the update of Retina. My apologies… However,
   I still reckon it would be nice to be able to crop all image sizes through Retina
   in order to minimise the need of plugins and as cropping of thumbnails is already
   a feature of Retina…
 * **\*\*\*UPDATE\*\*\***
 * Sorry, sorry, sorry! I confused the new cropping method of WP to be part of Retina,
   hence my suggestion of making it possible to crop all images sizes through Retina.
   It’s obviously a lacking feature of WP and not Retina… I’ll continue as before
   with a combination of Manual Image Crop and Retina 🙂
 * Please feel welcome to delete this topic.
 * Cheers!
 * Jonas

 * Hey Jonas,
 * I was traveling in Cambodia so I just saw your post and started with the UPDATEs
   😉 Yes, the plugin works perfectly now with Manual Image Crop retina, even in
   case of rebuilding all the thumbnails 🙂 But I wouldn’t be surprised if there
   is a little bug somewhere, this is the first version of the plugin with this 
   feature. Seems to work perfectly but who knows…
 * Thanks for looking into everything and no worries! 🙂
