 Hi, would it be possible to expand this function:
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/set_post_thumbnail_size

 so a post type can be added as a parameter? That way we can add custom
 functions that would allow different featured images sizes to be set for
 posts vs pages vs CPT's etc., as often these have different layouts and
 size requirements. Currently all featured images are the same size,
 usually over/undersized (and rescaled in CSS), which is a waste of
 bandwidth and often degrades the images.


 Connected with this: it should be possible to choose not only the image,
 but also the image size when setting a featured image. I can specify my
 media settings to include, say, a 700px as Medum size, so it will be
 perfect for my theme as featured image, but there is no option to select
 this, always the largest (original) version is set.

 This can be changed with the above function, (but only global, not per
 post type), but it would be better if a size simply could be chosen
 (original, large, medium etc).
 Thanks for considering.
