[Digikam-devel] Crop in IE

[Gilles Caulier]

Andi,

I thinking something like this too.

I recieve too some remark about this duplicates actions.

I can't see any way where single crop cannot be done with ratio crop
tool. Before to remove something. I recommend to ask to users. Perhaps
they know a situation where single crop is really mandatory...
