We are planning to change the underlying structure to create thumbnail #813.
So we might need to rework on this issue when we will make changes.
@benhaynes I am suggesting let's move this as a feature request dependent on #813.

I agree, this is not a bug since that's expected behavior. What we need is a thumbnail parameter to force generate. Something like:

200/200/contain/80?force=true
or...
200/200/contain/80?refresh=true

#813 is for the configuration of the thumbnail whitelist... so this refresh param doesn't rely on it. We could add this in before the new config if we wanted to.

To achieve better clarity/visibility, we are now tracking feature requests within the Feature Request project board.

This issue being closed does not mean it's not being considered.

Hi there just wanted to follow up on this issue since it appears to be dependent on #813. Are there any workarounds we can use in the interim, or anything I or others can do to help bring about a resolution?

[benhaynes]

A PR would help! 😉

Otherwise, will get to this as soon as most of the larger bugs are closed.
