Is it necessary to have this module require that you set a fixed height/width for images in the block settings? Is it possible to simply use the same format used imagefield on full node view or when using a view have the images displayed according to the field format settings. This way not all images need to have the same height and width dimensions and imagecache presets can be utilized.
In my specific case, I have a view that uses a thumbnail setting from imagecache that scales the images by height but widths are not fixed. Therefore dynamic display block requiring me to set a fixed width is a problem.
Thanks for reading.

ppblaauw CreditAttribution: ppblaauw commentedHad already a patch for RC1 and promised to implement in future releases.
I forgot.
With this patch you can set the image height and width to zero.
In this case the height and width of the image are used.
Hereby the patch for RC4.
If the advanced dynamic display options are used, you also need the update the
ddblock-cycle-block-content.tpl.php file in your theme directory
under [YOUR-THEME_NAME]/custom/modules/ddblock/
The new ddblock-cycle-block-content.tpl.php file is part of the upright10-50.zip file which can be downloaded from: http://ddblock.myalbums.biz/download
Please let me now if this solves the issue.

elally CreditAttribution: elally commentedI'm still seeing a sizing issue with RC5. If you check out this page you'll see the full-size third image is being distorted. There's a jCarousel object showing the same photos at the bottom of the page for comparison.
The ddblock is using Imagecache sizing and the upright40 template, customized to take out the text overlay.

ppblaauw CreditAttribution: ppblaauw commentedMost slideshows use the same image sizes.
If you want to use different image sizes with the advanced slideshow functionality you can.
Like in the jcarousel pictures below in your site which have a fixed width of 75px and a flexible height.
E.g. For a flexible height in an advanced dynamic display block slideshow:
Hope this helps you further. Please let me now.
