GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 329174
Variable crop area
Last modified: 2008-03-26 10:23:16 UTC
I have some frames at 3.5" * 5", but f-spot have no way of cropping this kind of measurement. Would be nice with a Variable selection, and then you can input mm/cm/inch for Width and Length
Or 3.5 x 5 could be added to the constraints list since it is very common.
Perhaps I should raise a new bug to add the 3.5 * 5 to the constraints list. And keep this variable one as an enhancement request. I saw the following framesizes at http://www.pfile.com/picture-frames/ ======= 3.5 * 5 4 * 5 4 * 6 5 * 5 5 * 7 6 * 8 8 * 10 8.5 * 11 8 * 12 9 * 12 10 * 13 10 * 20 11 * 14 11 * 17 12 * 12 12 * 16 12 * 18 13 * 19 16 * 20 18 * 24 ======== Either to have all possible frame sizes, or have the most popular ones, and then one variable (which is why I wrote this enhancement bug)
I also found 2.5 * 3.5 3 * 3 4 * 4 8 * 8
The whole point is the ratio, so having 4*4 and 8*8 is pointless (especially since there is alredy a square option). I think adding 3.5x5 and 8.5x11 is a good idea. The variable option would allow us to keep the list relatively short yet do what some people might need/want.
Yes, my point exactly :) Just thought to list up all the different framesizes I found so we can easily visualize the need. The fixed ones should be easy to add (I can look at that this week), but the variable one needs a input field...
We seem to be missing the following options: 3.5 * 5 8.5 * 11 10 * 13 10 * 20 (5 * 10) 11 * 14 11 * 17 13 * 19 16 * 20 (4 * 5) I can add the 3.5 and 8.5 this week as a patch to a bug I will raise on this.
Created a new bug 329581 with attached small patch for adding 3.5*5 and 8.5*11 constraints.
Any comments on this enhancement? I still think it would be nice to have a variable crop area. But if it is not feasable, or whatever, perhaps just close this one, and ensure we get the various constraints we need (as in bug #329581)
Created attachment 101635 [details] [review] add-custom-constraint.patch Allow the user to add custom constraints for the current session, dropped when F-Spot get closed. Very useful for creating Moo cards!! :-)
Created attachment 101636 [details] screenshot of the patch
Created attachment 101637 [details] [review] add-custom-constraint.patch I checked and rechecked, but yet I missed that one. Replaced "Create" button with stock "Add".
Created attachment 105606 [details] [review] add-custom-constraint.patch updated to svn. added a few improvements: * appended ratio value to the constraint label * if a selection exists on the picture, bring the predefined sizes of the dialog from there
maxxer: please keep the user-defined constraints in gconf (using a list)
custom ratios added in r3785
