I attempted David Neary's workaround which was to first use the rectselect tool specifying the required aspect ratio. Unfortunately I cannot do this and I think my gimp is a bit broken. This is what I get:- ----------------------- /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/aa: error while loading shared libraries: libaa.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
LibGimp-WARNING **: gimp: wire_read: unexpected EOF ------------------------ Lets forget that. I must oneday download & recompile the latest reliable gimp. What I am quite bucked about is that the developers seem to think that my suggestion, (i.e. being able to set aspect in the cropping tool) is worth implementing. Go to it guys!
