Feature Request: Auto-Crop panorama #6

Hi and thank you very much for providing this great app for free. It is a great and easy way to create high-quality panoramas on the phone without using the phone camera's built-in panorama function that relies on video recording and has poor quality. One final step however, is missing: cropping away the black areas around the panorama that is added because a panorama created from multiple pictures is not exactly rectangular. It would be great if the app would automatically crop the resulting panorama in a way that the result is as large as possible but with no black surroundings remaining. This would make this app the easiest way to create panoramas. Currently, I need to open a different editor app to do the crop and finalize the panorama. I would suggest to allow the user to toggle this behavior, as it removes actual content.

I think this would be much easier to implement than your "inpaint" ideas. It would require the user to cover a bit more area than wanted when taking the photos.
