Comment 11 for bug 1467740

I haven't thought this through fully yet, but I think I agree with James. It should be possible for us to deliver an image that is x pixels wide/tall in its smaller dimension, rather than only delivering images that that are no bigger than x pixels in their larger dimension (which is what we are providing now).

I'd expect that we'd still return images that are possibly smaller than what was asked for (as we do now), because upscaling is a policy decision that should be up to the application, not the thumbnailer.

James and I can discuss this.
