portrait crop plugin

Hi
I'd like to create a crop plugin that would let users crop their portraits. That plugin would trigger after portrait updates and open a new page with the uploaded portrait and some javascript functions that let the user define a new area within their portrait that will be used to crop it when they validate.

But it seems that onAfterUserAvatarUpdate() plugin method doesn't allow to open such a "interactive cropping page" and I don't want to open a new plugin tab. I'd like users crop their portrait through the already available "update your avatar" menu.

How could I do ?

Thanks for your advices

Any body there ?

yeah this would be a good idea
the CB avatars are a little wonky especially when being ported to other modules.

having a nice square size would be perfect!

SimGallery has image cropping capabilities in their new 3.0 version.

although I have not fully messed around with it, I do not know if it applies to avatars.

but I know it does allow for front end avatar upload.
but SimGallery is expensive

Is there a way to alter normal execution flow in CB ?
I'd like to avoid avatar update function for example after my own function triggered by onBeforeUserAvatarUpdate.
Thanks for your helps
