Imgcrop - simple image converter/cropper

[vovchik]

Dear all,

hello vovchik


Thanks for the image crop tool!
will come in handy for many uses

P.S
I like what you did a lot (and don't want to seem picky at all )
a mistake I made by testing quickly my fault
I started off wrong by using the defaults
5 5 240 240 when my image was only

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ ./imgcrop test.png -size
337x210

so to bullet proof your error codes from those types of things maybe a
check size input >= output
or else GdkPixbuf will throw errors

Dear Joe,

Thanks. I had exactly the same thought, and will post a version (in the first post) that checks for proper dimensions and allows for a default 0 0 0 0 shortly. I am now testing.

With kind regards,
vovchik
