Setting for sizes

[sveetch]

Proposal

A new setting which define shared sizes for thumb alike:

{
    "article-detail-cover": (320x240),
    "category-item-media": (300x200),
}

Template tags will have to recognize size name when given instead of explicite dimensions. Or at least a new tag dedicated to use named sizes.

Pros

It will promotes standardized sizes through templates and avoid to have 42 different sizes among all templates.

Also it will help to pre generate thumb and avoid Sorl retaining page loading until it finished to generate every thumb cache.

Cons

From previous experienced thumb libraries, i know some web designers dont like to change settings when trying to find a proper size, often leading to stale size setting.

There may be some other cons (or pros) but it would need some thought about implementation.
