Is this doable?

Could there be an option available to select which would be constant the height of the width.
The resize is always done to fit the image within the box described by the size. If the keep aspect ratio option is off, then the image will be the same size as the box.

With the keep aspect ratio option on, the size of the final image will depend on the aspect ratio of the input image, and the aspect ratio of the new size. If the image is tall-and-thin, and the new size is short-and-fat, then the height is going to be the determining size. If you resized a wide image to, then the width is going to be the size used.

If you want to always have the same width image, just set the height to something ridiculously large. Setting the height to 10 times the width will probably mean all images will effectively be "fit-to-width".

If the plugin isn't working as described above, please report it with some examples. And run calibre in debug mode and include the log for me to look at.

If someone does want to add options such as fit-to-width and fit-to-height, please do so. I don't use the plugin much. The changes I made before were mainly to keep it working. If someone wants to take over, I'm happy to let them.
