#8 Add Finder Placement Option

[Anonymous]

Great app!

It would be awesome to have a "Smart Fit" Finder Placement
Option that would:
1) Fill Screen/Crop pictures that are bigger than the desktop,
reduce to fit, keeping orig proportions.
2) Just Center smaller pictures (ie, don't tile)

It woudl be great if there were info in the Read Me about "Finder
Placement Options" (eg, what's the diff bt. "Fill Screen" and
"Crop?)

Currently, CD changes a private Finder file to update the
Placement options (hence 'Finder Placement' and not 'Desktop
Placement'). IOW, the Finder is determining how to scale the
picture, not CD. If in the future, I change CD to control
the picture drawing itself (bypassing the Finder) then CD
could aslo control the scaling. Currently this is not possible.

Fill Screen = Scale the picture to fit the screen exactly.
This is generally not a good idea for a wide screen display
(such as the Cinema Display) because it will produce a
skewed image.

Crop = Scale the picture so the current aspect is kept. So
on a Cinema Display, this option will generally scale the
picture so it is actually bigger than the display and then
the outer edges will be Cropped. This way the picture looks
normal.
