[Feature Proposition] Scale down only

[d-ph]

Hi,

Thanks for this software. It does the job and it just works.

I was wondering whether a feature could be implemented where the app is told to scale the images down only. I.e. to scale to X - X [px] but not scale up, in case an image is already of smaller dimensions than X. Currently, Converseen would upscale which really is not what should be happening (because it just pixelates the image). It could be a checkbox in the "Scale image" menu, so that users that do actually want to upscale, still can upscale. Also, this "downscale only" operation is supposed to be something that imagemagick offers out-of-the-box already, so it seems that it would only be a matter of adjusting the command line, depending on whether the scale operation should "scale either way", or "only downscale".

My use case: I periodically take a directory full of phone photos, and just downscale them to 2000x2000 [px] (preserving aspect ratio) for backing up in the cloud. I don't usually browse each and every single photo in that directory before I do that. I just run the downscale, upload to cloud, and forget :)

Thanks.

Hello and sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for your suggestion, it is indeed a very useful feature.

I will try to add this functionality in one of the next versions of Converseen! :)

In any case, the program does not directly use ImageMagick from the command line, so I will probably need to implement a feature with this behavior.
