Auto aspect crop tool

[Jeff]

Is there a way to define a base minimum & maximum crop area for a photo and then in batch processing autocrop to a particular aspect ratio?

That is to say, I know I want a certain box to be in any final image, and I know I don't want to crop beyond a certain point, but I don't want to decide which aspect ratio (1:1, 4:6, 8:10, etc) I'm running the workflow for until I'm ready to publish the photo, and I don't want to downsample resolutions if downsampling is necessary for the target until after the crop is performed.  And I might want to come back later and run it for a different aspect ratio if I need a new print size.  For example, I publish it to facebook at 1:1, print some snapshots at 4:6, and then my parents want my kid's photo in an 8:10.

If this isn't out there, is this something I should implement?

Batch Queue Manager has a Crop tool, but options are less advanced than Aspect Ratio Crop tool from Image Editor...

Is this something that people would like for me to try and implement, then?

if you is developer, sure you is welcome. It's the purpose of opensource...

Code relevant of current crop tool from BQM is here :

Look crop.cpp/.h
