subject location on alias in settings

[mirzadelic]

Hi, i have aliases for thumbnail, and now i need to use subject location with them, how can i do that?

THUMBNAIL_ALIASES = {
    '': {
        'cover': {'size': (966, 330), 'replace_alpha': '#fff', 'autocrop': True, 'crop': True, 'upscale': True},
        'category': {'size': (406, 200), 'replace_alpha': '#fff', 'autocrop': True, 'crop': True, 'upscale': True},
        'article': {'size': (230, 120), 'replace_alpha': '#fff', 'autocrop': True, 'crop': True, 'upscale': True},
    }
}

I'm not sure how THUMBNAIL_ALIASES works. Hopefully it allows passing in extra parameters with the template tag. Then you can do it as described in the docs: http://django-filer.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.4/installation.html#subject-location-aware-cropping

e.g {% thumbnail obj.img 200x300 crop upscale subject_location=obj.img.subject_location %} or {% thumbnail obj.img 200x300 crop upscale subject_location=50,25 %}

Sorry for digging this one out. Is there a specific reason why scale_and_crop_with_subject_location doesn't automatically use the subject location set in the filer backend? That would make it possible to use the thumbnail_url template filter (http://easy-thumbnails.readthedocs.org/en/2.1/usage/#thumbnail-url-filter) together with subject location aware cropping.

Still relevant, needs a little design decision (Should scale_and_crop_with_subject_location use the default subject location saved in the database?)
