If the image is too large, it should be scaled #101

GREAT addon, thank you! I selected Reddit as source and aww as subreddit.. cute animal photos :) Anyway, when the photo is too large, only part of it is shown.. Would be nice if it could be rescaled.. I think most of us have Image Magik installed perhaps that could be used for rescaling?

Are you sure that it's not a problem of proportions (ratio)? For example, I often see only part of vertical image on horizontal monitor.

@tkalfaoglu Thanks! Currently, cropping around the center is done, and everything that does not fit on the display is not visible. like AlexWayfer explained it is most likely due to the aspect ratio of the images. It is possible to change how those images are displayed (stretched, or zoomed with bars) and I actually implemented it a few days ago on the branch feature/change_wallpaper_placement. However, I decided to ditch this feature as the same options appear to have been removed from the native gnome wallpaper settings as well and I found the options not that great/intuitive.

If more people demand this feature, then I'll reconsider adding it into a release. Meanwhile, you could try it yourself directly from the branch if you are interested.
