Bug Description

Binary package hint: shotwell

When cropping an image in Shotwell viewer using the 'Custom' layout, the dialog that pops up asks for two dimensions, but doesn't say what the measurement is (pixels, mm, inches etc.) or which applies to which axis.

I was under the impression that "x by y" was the standard, but this appears to use "y by x".

Hi,

The custom crop dialog is actually the aspect ratio, rather than absolute pixels, and as such, doesn't seem like it should have units. I can confirm, though, that 'y' does seem to come before 'x' when running the latest from trunk, which isn't right.

I will ticket this on our side immediately; thanks for reporting it!
