When i upload an image that has a different height / width, the thumbnail gets created as a smaller thumbnail image keeping the aspect ratio, but then you get white spaces as it doesn't fill the whole space of the container set. I also dont want to set it to stretch the images in css. Is there a way, that when the thumbnail gets created, it automatically crops the image? So if i upload an image of 400 x 500px for a product, and the thumbnail size is set to 100 x 100px, that hikashop should rather create the thumbnail by * Copying the image to the thumbnail folder * reducing the image size to 100 x 125px * then crop the top and bottom of the image off to make the image 100 x 100px Then at least all the thumbnails on the site will look a lot better taking up the each image container and the option to click the image and see the full, uncropped, image open up will be available.
