Category Thumbnail aspect ratios

[DE0]

Right now if we upload an image as the thumbnail for a category it uploads at that aspect ratio, so if you upload a square you get a square, if you upload a rectangle you get a rectangle, and so on.  And of course if you upload a variety you get a big mess.  Because of this everytime I want to change the appearance, I have to redesign each thumbnail from scratch to make sure the aspect ratios all match, otherwise I would have plenty of promotional images I could already be using as category thumbnails to update on the fly quickly.  Would it be possible to add a checkbox to allow us to lock in an aspect ratio if we want?  Just a toggle setting so it doesn't interfere with those who like the way it is now?  A simple checkbox selection for 1:1,  2:1, "circle", and "unrestrained" would be so nice to have.  Please consider.

Hi @DE0,

Thank you for your suggestion I will be sure to pass this along to the team for consideration!

I might be misunderstanding @DE0, but I use rectangular shaped images all the time for cover images and just use the 'crop' option to select which part of the image will form my square. You can move the crop handles anywhere on the image and also resize it and it will retain the 1:1 ratio.
