Roadmap
The features I aim for right now are (not necessarily in this order):
Image editing (crop, resize, rotate) from within the KCFinder window

Evolution user, I like the back-end speed and simplicity

Is there any other solution for MODx Evolution 1.0.15 that allows you to resize and crop images? Just upgraded client's website to latest patch and they're asking for this functionality to be returned.
Not where I'm aware of.
Maybe not too elegant but it can be done online:
