I wish @husky had better handling of non-square avatars.

@husky it can do it for the profile, just not in posts.

@husky maybe I need to make an absurdly wide avi and use it until this is fixed...

@husky Sorry for the wait. I had to read a lot of imagemagick docs.

This shit is literally the ffmpeg of images! I really need to learn how to properly use it.

Anyway, this should be good.

@husky oh man, that's great!

@husky pleroma-fe handles it like a champ!

@husky @graf Arguably soapbox-fe handles it even better. In this specific case case at least.

@husky @graf Bloat-fe handles it well too!

@graf @husky if you ask me, I say just display avis centred and cropped to 1:1.

Plus that's the behaviour I'd expect.

I mean, at least it's kind of not broken on my on my profile but since a border is added it looks bad.

Just centre and crop top 1:1.

That's honestly what I'd expect. Although, soapbox-fe seems to be the only web-fe that I have which does that.

@sjw @husky agreed

@graf @husky even pleroma-fe tries to crop to 250x250 and lets you select where to crop. But then people complained because it broke gif animations so they added a "don't crop just use as is" option. Sure, they could have tweaked the code to make imagemagick properly crop gifs and keep the animation but then you have WebP and now AVIF image sequence (which is literally just an AVIF video in an MP4 container pretending to be an image format) so just having an option to save as is is the best solution IMO.

People uploading should expect it to be displayed centred and cropped to 1:1 anyway. I mean, that's what I expected when making my new avi. It looks great on soapbox-fe!

@sjw @husky thank you @alex

@graf @sjw@bae.st @alex @husky it does not look great on mastodont tho...
Apparently mastodont makes the whole image fit into 1:1; aspect ratio be damned!
