If there's a simple way to accomplish it, I'll do it, but I'm not promising anything at this point.
I understand that.
All I can do is give ideas. I was thinking... maybe a ratio modifier. Let's say length and width have their dimensions displayed in poucentages instead of a distance value. So, the standard length would be 100% and the standard width 100%. If we can zoom the file, meaning we increase both length and width by the same value (eg: 10%), maybe we can separate the both value and only increment the width.
We could see in the option two lines, one length and one width both at a default 100% but could be modified separately between... let's say 50% and 150%.
That way we can choose a default value but we'll be still able to modify them depending the file.

Well, I don't really know myself if I'm talking to say nothing or if my answer clarifies things, but... that's all that passed my mind.

So, organizing the archives into folders and choosing by file name is pretty much the only option.
That explains everything.

So, if you want to choose a particular archive file, you have to do it through the Library app.
Then what's the point of the directory chooser widget here?

The what do you use?
