Fixed aspect ratio for manual crop area

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(Using 1.5.5)

When choosing the manual crop area I usually go for the most effective crop 
area for fullscreen, zoom to fit reading (in a 10.1in display this give me a 
good letter size).

This results from a crop area of fixed aspect ratio with the same aspect ratio 
as the usable display area (total area are minus status and/or title bars) so 
we don't have black borders aroud the page. 

I don't know if this usable area can be easily calculated from inside of 
ebookdroid,  if yes I like to ask for a option to fix the aspect ratio to this 
value, if not for a option to set a fixed value for the aspect ratio.

With one of the two options we only need to set the size with the corner handle 
and move the crop area around the page.

Did you tried auto crop?

I do not fully understand your problem. I understand that you want some 
enhancement for current behaviour, right?

Maybe you can attach some pictures describing what do you want?

Here's a possible way to have everything. :-)
Along with the transparent rectangular selection of sides X and Y you can draw 
TWO more rectangular outlines: one with sides X and Y/aspectratio and the other 
with sides X*aspectratio and Y. (might have used 1/aspectratio here, but you 
get the point)
(of course you have to consider that some sides of the rectangle might be 
ouside the screen).

The common corner would be the top left corner (for left to right languages 
this is most natural - could be changed for arabic, hebrew, japanese, chinese 
if necessary)

With outlines I mean only the borders not the full area, of course.

Possible workaround is to set background color to page color.
