Image Sizing Request

I understand what happens to most feature requests, but this one--I hope--should be fairly easy.

Currently, you must specify the maximum size for images as WxH. Those of us with rectangular screens can select either of two choices for the proportions, essentially choosing in advance whether to view the document in landscape or portrait mode.

However, many documents have images that are a mixture of landscape and portrait formats, and it may be desirable to render them as large as possible on the screen, even if that means switching the PDA back and forth between orientations.

My proposal: Add a checkbox in the image formatting area, labeled "WxH". The default would be for this box to be checked and the software would behave as it does now. When the box is unchecked, the specified dimensions would be taken as WxH or HxW, whichever gives the larger image, on an image by image basis as they are being processed.

If that can't be done, here's one you can't refuse: Please label the H and W boxes. I never remember which is which. And I'm betting I have it wrong in the above discussion.
