Important note about the WordPress 2.5 media manager

If you don’t want your thumbnails to get distorted, you need to change WordPress 2.5′s default setting before you upload your photos into the media manager. Go to Settings > Miscellaneous and UNcheck the “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)” box.

I really can’t believe they have that box checked by default. It says right there: “normally thumbnails are proportional.” So why did they make the abnormal setting the default? It is to weep.

In other news, the discussion over the 2.5 Write screen continues.
