[Request] Resizing shortest edge or longest edge have very unclear effects with no explanation in the UI #281

Open Azagwen opened 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I wanted to optimize a portfolio to be displayed on a website, but all of my images were in their original size, some above 4K. Reducing their size would have helped ease loading for slower connections.

However as it currently works, Caesium will resize EVERYTHING, and with no real way to tell it to keep aspect ratio unless you resize in percentage, and no way to tell it to only resize images larger than X.

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered Not resizing my images... Which is not ideal

I just realized that "Logest ege" and "Shortest edge" do this, but it's extremely unclear and I couldn't have realized until I tried...

As you commented, the option let's you resize by one edge, always keeping the aspect ratio (that's why it's selected but grayed out). I get I should probably add some explanations for some of the options, which is true for a lot of things actually. I'll try to improve it in the future. Thanks for the feedback.
