Assets not re-sizing correctly when upgrading from earlier version
I'm upgrading a Perch: 2.4.2 from to Perch: 2.8.26, which means updating exiting image to use Perch Assets which were not included in the earlier version.
I notice that if you...
View any of the existing assets (Assets > Add/Edit > Editing ‘’ Asset the old image overflows https://www.dropbox.com/s/ag6h7v2n7ttzi6z/image-assets-upgrade.png?dl=0

Make's the job upgrading site will lots of images very difficult.
It's difficult because we can't go back in time and capture information that we don't have, and we can't do it now because people use rubbish hosting that won't cope with all that activity.
