Feature request

When uploading an image it would be nice to allow the same image to be used as the thumbnail for the image. If the image is over x size (>5 mb? >500 pixels wide or tall) then the client should automatically resize the image and upload it to spee.ch as the thumbnail.

The compression would be handled by https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch/issues/599

For this to work inside the app, we'd need to give users who are uploading images an option to use the same image as a thumbnail. This would then call the spee.ch upload functionality, but at least they wouldn't have to re-select the file again. I don't think this should happen automatically...what if they want to use a different thumb, or if the image being uploaded doesn't "work" as a thumb because of aspect ratio, etc.

So, the feature might be broken into versions:

Upload as thumbnail, no resizing
Auto resize and upload, no editing
Auto resize and allow cropping/subset selection

There was also discussion in the forum that many (most?) images wouldn't be good to use as the thumbnail since they would be too large (would slow down the pages), so the client should resize the image dynamically (maybe even offer cropping, etc. to make it more reasonable). So, the feature might be broken into versions: - Upload as thumbnail, no resizing - Auto resize and upload, no editing - Auto resize and allow cropping/subset selection
