Please don't describe aspect ratio as a single float as this makes it impossible to quickly and intuitively enter aspect ratios such as 2:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16 without having a pocket calculator nearby. When using big selections then the current float entry with four digits precision is imprecise when describing certain aspect ratios (neither 0.6666 or 0.6667 is correctly describing 2:3 aspect ratio). Either go back to the old tool there, which simply allowed any multiple of the height/width values set when aspect was fixed or provide two spinbuttons for the aspect to be entered properly without having the user calculate the "aspect" each an every time. regards Karl Günter Wünsch _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
