We have released BuddyPress Media 2.9 today that added a whole set of enhancements.
Crop, Rotate images with the Image Editor
With this release, we pulled out the image editor from the WordPress Dashboard into BuddyPress Media. So now users can crop, flip, rotate and scale images, as and when required.
Custom Sizes for Media Display
BuddyPress Media 2.9 onwards, you can specify the different media sizes for your website. So, now they’ll be completely compatible with various themes.
More Efficient Image Processing
We have also gone a step further and filtered the image creation process which by default creates all the registered image sizes. Now, BuddyPress Media only creates the sizes required for BuddyPress, skipping over other sizes. This reduces the time to upload and process images and reduces unnecessary/unwated images on your server.
Other changes
The lightbox has been extended to the BuddyPress Media Widget to integrate the overall experience. Some bugs in both the javascript and php have been fixed and much of the code has been revised.
Those who are wondering where the shortcode functionality is, would have to wait just a little longer. The functionality is almost ready. However, it faced a few glitches that we hope to sort out in the next version. This time the next version will be available before weekend!

Awesome and fast work well done!
Thanks a lot 🙂
Excited to mess with the new version. Currently testing my BP 1.7 on sandbox and doing compat testing with bp plugins (yours included) in the next couple of days before putting into production. I’ll let you know if I run into anything that needs your attention. Great job team!
Great!! Share the results with us 🙂
As soon as I have a chance to mess with it, I’ll be sure to hop back on here to update everyone.
