Add image crop feature

Sometimes it could be handy

I have this image viewer as default for all image viewing. But I had to install another one just for cropping feature. So cropping could be handy sometimes.

Hi,
good viewer ,as for me!

[alextpedro]

Would love this, too.

@JosephMcc Any chance to see this new feature? We already have rotate and mirror, so cropping (and maybe resize?) would complete the toolbox of basic image commands.

[JosephMcc]

I'm not sure. We also have pix which offers more features. Personally I'd prefer to see xviewer as a simple image viewing tool and not have a ton of overlap between the two.

[mikehaertl]

To be honest I didn't even know about Pix until your comment. As xviewer is the default viewer on Mint, my standard flow is like: double click image, look for "Crop" under "Edit", rant, open Gimp ...

If you look at the mobile sector, most default image viewers there also provide those basic capabilities. So I would argue it's what most users expect nowadays. To be clear: I'm not talking about a full featured image manipulation tool. But the most basic operations should be there to make them easy to find.

Yes, the CROP tool would be an extremely useful tool to have with Xviewer and was the first thing I looked for when going through menu option after taking/opening a defaulted full desktop screenshot.

@birdkiwi I installed shotwell for this purpose.

[adrianlopezgalera]

I second this.

Regards.

[saukrs]

I second this request too.

Agree with what's been posted. Cropping is a basic feature that fits perfectly fine with a "viewer" application. Would be nice to have added.

I can only second the resize and crop features, as well as the much needed obfuscate / pixelize tool
for privacy in many scans, images, etc. which I want / need to send out.

I use https://apps.gnome.org/en/Obfuscate/ for that purpose at the moment or Gimp Filter > Pixelize with 5-8 pixels size.
I do use Greenshot Editor on Windows for the same purposes as the pixelize tool there is pretty nice.
