Text object thumbnail problem in RSS feed

I have activated the text-objects plugins and I'm using it to embed youtube videos in my albums. I have placed the text and image files in the video folder and checked if all works. In my website everything works fine. However if I try to read my RSS feed to check the new videos I have two problems.

One is that I can't find any way to customize the text object thumbnail size and the second problem is that feedburner can't understand links like these:

http://aerografie.ro/zp-core/i.php?a=picturi-aerograf/video-aerografie&i=capota-bmw-aerografiata.jpg&s=572&w=572&h=572&c=1&cw=&ch=&q=90&t=1&wmk=!

It only reads links like these:

http://aerografie.ro/uploaded/blog/diverse/artist-aerografie.jpg

My solution would be to change the code that gets the text-object thumbnail to get the original file located in the album instead of the croped version. This way I can make my thumbnails the size I wan't and feedburner won't have trouble reading them. The catch is that I don't know in which php file I have to make this minor adjustment.

Thank you!

    Found something intereseting: Feedburner seems to get the wrong link for the text object thumbnail. It skips the domain name from the front of the croped thumb link:

    /zp-core/i.php?a=picturi-aerograf/video-aerografie&i=capota-dacia-personalizata-airbrush.jpg&s=572&w=572&h=572&c=1&cw=&ch=&q=90&t=1&wmk=!

    The links is actually correct with zp-core as it is the normal link to the Zenphoto image procesor. All images go through that.

    Did you try the Zenphoto rss feed direclty? I have never user feedburner and last time we tested the feeds were valid (btw, in 1.4.3 a few things will change, especially internally. so if you can please try the development nightly - not trunk - as well)

    Well, the rss feed works just fine if I check on the zenphoto link. Maybe it's feedburner picky on link syntax. However I still have huge thumbnails for text-objects and I'd like to find a way to skip the croping step for the text-opjects thumbnails and link directly to the text-object image. Thank you!

    Actually textobject thumbs work like video thumbs, which means default image if you didn't upload an special image with the same name (minus suffix) as the textobject. The default ones arae not cropped but the thumbs images should behave like any other image/thumb.

    Please try the 1.4.3 nightly if you have the change. The rss feeds have been internally reworked a great deal and a few things have been fixed/improved. Those will not likely get into the 1.4.2 stream anymore. (Note the rss links change a bit, see zp-core/class-rss.php top comments in the 1.4.3 nightly about that).
