[Digikam-devel] Crop in IE

[Andi Clemens]

Hi,

I just asked myself if we really need the normal crop method?
I was at my uncle's birthday last week and I already evangelized him to use 
digiKam :-)
When he is cropping images, he ALWAYS uses the RatioCropTool, even when he is 
doing a manual selection with no ratio at all.
He has given me two reasons:

1. He is not able to drag the normal selection like in the RatioCropTool
2. He likes to see the Rule-of-Thirds

He also said that it is somehow confusing to have two crop methods, especially 
when you use IE for the first time. The action is always disabled (sure) and 
you need to do a selection first (which is not that obvious).

So my proposal would be to remove the normal crop action and rename the 
ratiocrop. I have never seen any other application that provides two or more 
crop actions / tools, it is always put together into one tool.

What do you think?
