For some purposes, I may prefer a very "high-res" thumbnail, say 256x256. If we require, which is what I read the prior language as doing, exactly 128x128, etc., then I don't have that as an option. What I think you are arguing against is complete freedom (what I proposed) which would allow users to pick a resolution that is too low to be useful. What I was reacting to was defining only one possible value. Perhaps a compromise? Not less than 128x128 in PNG and dropping the other requirements? Sets a lower boundary. Hope you are having a great day!
