The generateAlbumPreview function in idsShares.pm always creates previews in portrait format and with size 51 x 76 pixels. Virtually all of my photos are in landscape format and so the previews are less than stunning.
IDS should generate previews in the same orientation as the selected photo. Ideally the size of the preview should be related to the previewMaxDimension config parameter.
I will produce a hack for the first of these.
