Undocumented Thumbnail Sizes

user-1923

I'm running get_iplayer 3.07.0 from a Windows 7 command prompt.

The built-in documentation for the --thumbsize option lists 11 widths that may be used for the argument.
Code:
C:\>get_iplayer --long-help | find "thumbsize"

get_iplayer Output:

--thumbsize <width>  Thumbnail size to use for the current recording and metadata. Specify width: 192,256,384,448,512,640,704,832,960,1280,1920. Default: 192

However, get_iplayer also recognizes width arguments of 86, 150, 178, 528, 1024 and 1600 representing image sizes of 86×48, 150×84, 178×100, 528×297, 1024×576 and 1600×900.

Code:
C:\>@echo off & (for %A in (86 150 178 528 1024 1600) do (get_iplayer --thumbsize %A --file-prefix "<name>_%A" --thumbnail-only --pid b01q0k5b > nul)) & dir /b/od/tc "path\to\outputtv\*.*" & echo on

get_iplayer Output:

Wallace and Gromit A Close Shave_528.jpg
Wallace and Gromit A Close Shave_1024.jpg
Wallace and Gromit A Close Shave_1600.jpg

Is there a reason these six widths are undocumented or is it just that the documentation requires updating?
