Lossless jpeg cropping

[Stephane Delcroix <stephane delcroix org>]

Hi all,

I've worked on this during my honeymoon: adding lossless cropping for
jpeg in f-spot.

Get the patches from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339081

The first patch (libs and API) is ok and works well. The second one is
only a way to show and test that new functionality.

I don't want to make a clear and neat UI binding before having some
feedbacks on lossless jpeg cropping from the list:

 * Do you think it is useful ?
 * The X and Y offsets must be aligned with jpeg blocks (i.e. multiple
of 8). The user should know whether the results of his cropping will be
as requested. What about breaking aspect ratio constraints ?
 * The design of the "edit" UI sucks! (as documented in the code
itself). And it need some improvements. Is there already someone doing
it, or planning to do ?

Give a try to those patches, and maybe the next version of f-spot will
be called "the one with one more functionality than The Gimp!"

rgds,

Stephane
