Improve resizing experience

[Photon89]

Improve the resize dialog it offers a live preview / positioning (ala gimp), and allow it to be called by a keybinding (make this seem a core feature too).

Where is this resize dialog? I'm trying to resize a screenshot, and I don't find this feature. I have a HiDPI set up, and I would like the saved screenshot to be resized to smaller size, for inclusion in an email.

It's a plugin, accessible via Screenshot > Run a plugin... > Resize

Eventually found it ;-). OK, just assume that cropping and resizing are THE most common action one could perform on an image. Why is 'Cropping' only available inside the Built-in Editor and the 'Resizing' in the Main 'Gallery' screen? I would like to see Resizing as an option inside the Built-in Editor as well. Just my 2 cents.

It also works in the editor, actually. The only problem is just that you need to first resize the canvas and then resize the actual image. That's indeed not very comfortable.

Ah like that! Maybe something that can be improved upon then. I must say I love Shutter so far. It seems to be one of the few (maybe the only one) screenshot tools that doesn't suffer from screen scaling issues on 4k screens.

Absolutely, the editor has quite some quirks which need to be worked out! I fear, currently, we only have manpower for keeping Shutter afloat, that is, no functional changes... Any contributions are welcome though!
