I am currently in the process of setting up a site with ProcessWire and pretty much the only alternatives for me were ExpressionEngine and WordPress. WordPress just isn't built for anything but blog posts (I am aware of the 'custom post types' but it's a real pain requiring tons of hacks) and while I used to be a fan of ExpressionEngine it's just not a good fit if you don't have $ to spend. There are excellent add-ons for EE but I'd need quite a couple of them to get the same functionality that PW provides (Playa versus multiple related pages/PageArray in PW, Matrix versus Repeaters in PW). Additionally the limitations of the free version (e.g. the discussion forums being missing) and the license fee kicking in as soon as I try to monetize a site in any way kind of make me hesitate building the kind of "Let's see how this works out" projects that I often mess with on EE. I am not sure whether the concept of EE served as an inspiration or blueprint for PW, as they are really quite similar but as others have pointed out in this thread, the whole transition should be super-easy as a lot of the site building blocks are the same. Even if you didn't intend to do so (and I don't think so at all), you have created quite the 'ExpressionEngine killer' here... and eventually the word will spread. That said, ExpressionEngine is a great product and I hope EE (the product), the community and EllisLab keep on going strong. And if you can afford it and your customer feels better about using a 'commercial' product backed and supported by a company, definitely go for it. From what I have seen so far the EE backend still seems more 'pro' and if you use the right add-ons, a couple of parts are more convenient and polished. (That won't stay like that forever though.)

Emptying the cache and resaving did the job. I also temporarily added a second thumbnail configuration but removed it again, so I am not sure what the actual problem was. Thanks for the lightning fast support! By the way: the whole UI is really state of the art, props!

I just added this module to a standard 2.2.9 installation, had two existing posts with images already uploaded using the core 'Image' field type and changed the 'images' field's type and input field type to 'CropImage'. Now I am getting a 'There is no thumb called thumbnail' message (with the rest of the page being blank, no input forms displayed) whenever I open an existing post with previously uploaded images. When I create a new post, I get the same message within the image upload form after uploading an image. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

+1 on the request for a FieldSet/EE 'Matrix' style field type. Just working on a project with SilverStripe and while it is quite easy to define additional content types and associate them to my 'main content type' (and have them displayed in a 'tab' on the edit page of the main content type), I think the 'Matrix' style display and set-up is very user-friendly and really versatile! One of the best 'features' in EE (that is not even a 'core' feature as 'Matrix' is a commercial extension). Basically just meaning to say this would be a great feature putting ProcessWire one step ahead of 'the competition' again .
