Description of the new feature / enhancement

I am proposing a new fit option: Vertically and horizontally.

Currently, one can choose between either of these two, but not both at the same time.

Context:

I want to read manga on a tablet. Manga often have double spread pages from time to time. Regular pages are much taller than they are wide in terms of image dimensions, and double spreads are much wider than they are tall. With a tablet, it makes sense to usually read in portrait mode and then rotate to landscape mode for a double spread (and then back to portrait afterwards).

With all of the four existing fit options, there is no way to have this work without pages either overflowing the screen (meaning that scrolling is necessary) in some dimension(s), or being unnaturally stretched/squished in one dimension (aspect ratio is not maintained).

(All of the following are with Clamp size to window width enabled.)

• Free: Works fine in portrait mode (nothing overflows). In landscape mode, both single pages and double spreads overflow vertically.
• 1:1: Same as Free.
• Fit Vertically: Works perfectly in landscape mode with both single pages and double spreads, unnaturally stretches/squishes both when in portrait mode.
• Fit Horizontally: Works perfectly in portrait mode with both single pages and double spreads, overflows both when in landscape mode.

To make this "workflow" possible in both orientations without any overflowing or breaking aspect ratio, one more fit option would be needed that preserves aspect ratio and does not overflow the image either.

Or let me phrase this whole thing another way: It would be great to have a fit option that always fits the image to the screen, without overflowing the screen in either dimension, while also preserving the aspect ratio. This is no matter what dimensions or aspect ratio the screen itself and the image in question have.

An example of a reader that has this fit option: Cubari

Scenario when this would be used?
