[Gimp-developer] Feature suggestion: Gimp aspect ration based on golden rule

[Tim <tim treaki tk>]

Hi folks,

first of all i would like to thank you undiscribable much for that grate
image manipulating tool which was so good that a whole user environment
was build onto its toolkit...

I just have a some feature suggestion that i would consider as nice to have.

In gimp it is possible to select a rectangle area fixed to an aspect
ration of the users choice. Here in Germany we have got some paper
formats after the so called "DIN A" norm (DIN A4 is the most popular
one)[01] which aspect ration is based on the golden rule (1 to the
square root of 2).

It would be nice if there would be a feature for that, like as i
discribed in the attached screenshot.

I refer fo comments bout this with this...

regards
Tim
