DESCRIPTION
Right now, the default way to crop images is to select an area but I've always
cropped images on desktop by the dragging the edges of the image inward so the
new cropping functionality is very awkward to me, making gwenview still a must
for me.
There are also some issues with cropping as trying to crop on very zoomed in
images results in not being able to properly select the area as the "hitbox"
becomes larger making high precision zoomed in cropping not really viable,
especially when cropping doesn't seem to snap by pixels or even render pixels
as there seems to be a smoothing filter unlike with gwenview.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an image
2. Enter cropping mode
3. Zoom in on image and try dragging edges of the crop border
OBSERVED RESULT
Trying to specify the crop border on zoomed in images cannot be precise due to
more sensitive border dragging, no pixel snapping, and pixel identification due
to smoothing filters
EXPECTED RESULT
I should atleast be able to drag the crop borders when highly zoomed in and be
able to do precise crop snapping. I believe that images should also remove the
smoothing filter when in edit mode.
