           Summary: "Resize image" feature is missing some useful options
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Image Editor
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kamil.stepinski at gmail.com


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

digiKam -> Image Editor -> Resize
When I work on a number of photos for my web gallery I always resize them to a
lower resolution before retouching and uploading. I repeat the "resize"
operation for every photo I process and I always have to manually enter the
size of the photo (width: 1280 for example) and click the OK button. It would
really simplify and speed up my processing if there were some (configurable)
buttons added below the 4 sliders allowing you to select some predefined (and
most used) settings (image resolutions).
The image tells one thousand words - so I'm attaching a link to the screenshot
of the "resize image" option in IrfanView image viewer (windows only). The
second columns allows you to select some (hardcoded) resolutions.
It would be great if digiKam had a few of such buttons so I wouldn't have to
type the resolution every time I work on 50 photos from one photoshoot.
Batch processing resize won't work for me as I usually crop the photo before
resizing.
This should be a trivial thing to implement and in my opinion would add to
usability of digiKam.
Thank you.

(the rescaling of the image by percentage option might also be a good idea for
implementation)

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Additional buttons with some most used (user configurable) resolutions.
