1.6.8 includes a fix for the thumbnail aspect issues. They should be a square region from the center of the image. It is very difficult to get a decent layout for an album if the thumbnails have different aspect ratios. All the major photo sites do the same.

If you are still having thumbnail issues with 1.6.8, please the dimensions of the image causing the problem and what image library you are using with Tidypics. 

Thanks for this. I have another question and am wondering if 1.6.8 addesses this as well:

1. Can the images in the gallery be reorderd so that the thumbnails show their new order?

Thanks

That's a highly requested feature but not implemented yet. It is planned for a future release.

That's a shame, I decided to use 1.7 for a new project because of this feature.

Hi Brett,

Any news on when 1.8 will be launched, and have channels been added yet?

R

1.8 will hit beta late this year.  You can follow the progress on trac.  Another good resource is the wiki.

We renamed "Shared access" to "Channels" for better semantics and less techy names.  This wasn't actually released in 1.7 so I'm not sure what you're seeing, but look for it in 1.8!

Brett, will channels works with 1.7 ? And have the development of channel finished ? Would like to try it.
