Different way to deal with the thumbnail generator

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.5
-- Joomla version -- : 3.8.9
-- PHP version -- : 7.1.4

I found a problem (not a bug, a problem) when I use the HikaShop provided function to create thumbnails $imageHelper->getThumbnail(---)

What happens is that if I request a thumbnail of a larger size that the source image it generates an error instead of creating an oversampled thumbnail.

I understand this works as expected by the creators of the getThumbnail function so i would like to suggest to make the function more versatile either making it tolerant to oversampling or making oversampling optional so it does generate a thumbnail no matter it is horrible to the eyes.

This would help a lot on developing smart solutions to create product_list views intended to maintain large sets of images that need to be photographed again by local e-commerce team when those images com from the a third supplier,

to make it clearer, I mean:

I have a shop where I wills ell products from different makers.

One of the makers is providing high resolution cool great pictures.

Others pictures are made in house.

A third provider usually (but not always) provides terrible shitty ugly low resolution pictures mixed with good ones.

I want quick product adoption to my shop once products are on the ship sailing to my country warehouse...

So I want my clients to already buy or reserve products no matter some pics are bad. Once the product arrives to me I make the good pictures.

$imageHelper->getThumbnail() seems not allowing me to make oversampled thumbnails ---> PLEASE LET'S GET UGLY BUT FUNCTIONAL THUMBNAILS made from a small image.

I am actually using this piece of code:

$imageHelper->getThumbnail($img, array(200,104), array('default' => 1, 'forcesize' => 1));

Hi,

This is the code that generates the error:

$imageHelper->getThumbnail($img, array(0,100), array('default' => 1, 'forcesize' => 1));
