Exporting a gallery (at least a "simple" one) to HTML generates an index page that contains square thumbnails. 

The photos themselves are not square and I as a photographer go through a lot of effort to compose a shot the way I want it and it's not nice to have the edges cropped off (not to mention that if you photograph using the rule of thirds the subject is not in the center).

The thumbnail should preserve the aspect ratio of the original image and using CSS the <li> element that the image sits in can still be made square so that a gallery of portrait and landscape pictures can all be shown in a nice fashion.
