Research direction

Start by inspecting nemo-image-resize.ui and the surrounding nemo-image-converter implementation to see how the requested width and height values are applied. Done means providing a supported way to select or enable independent image dimensions rather than always changing them proportionally.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi everyone, I know you're not supposed to distort images, but it would be good to have the option to allow or select it. That would be a great help to me. You can enter the desired values, but the image is always changed proportionally.
Or do I perhaps have the possibility to change something in the settings of “nemo-image-resize.ui” myself?
