The Smart Crop module most of the time does the cropping job well enough.
It would be useful, if the default action could be e.g. a "Smart Crop" first, and then the "Javascript crop" (if the default cropping result too bad).
So the feature request is the possibility of a default "pre-cropping".

You can add the smart crop action before the javascript crop action. Every action that comes before javascript crop, will be applied to the image that is croppable.

Ok, but I wanted to use the same dimension with both actions.
So after a 100x100 smartcrop action a 100x100 javascript crop action cannot do anything (the original picture dimension lost).
(settings attached)
So I wanted to "update" the smart crop action with the javascript crop action.

Ok, so you mean. Smart crop is placed first. But on javascript crop: you can say:
- do a recrop
- leave the smartcrop

Yes.
Do a recrop OR leave the smartcrop.
The recrop is impossible.

I've mentioned something like this in the Drupal 7 plans post.
Image focus does something similar. http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_focus
Its been 9 months since i've looked @ it but it actually looks like it connects to smart crop.
This feature of 'smart cropping' instead of using 'center, center' would be a huge time saver.

Added this to the issue queue from smartcrop. A code change is needed. This is only for d7 at the moment.

You can do this by putting the imagecrop version first and using the "Don't crop if cropping region wasn't set." option.
