Description Eyal Rozenberg 2023-08-09 16:23:08 UTC
One often creates a Draw drawing with a full printing page size, but with contents taking a lot less space. And - one commonly then wants to crop the page to only cover the contents.

But...

* You can't do it from the Page (or Tools menu)
* You can't do it from the toolbars visible by default
* You can't do it from the side bar
* You can't do it from the context menu of a selection

That's bad.

I submit that:

1. The Page menu should have a "Crop to contents" entry, a "Crop to Selection" entry, or both (in or without a submenu).
2. The context menu of a selection should have a "Crop page to Selection" item.

(and perhaps also

3. The context menu for the back surface of a document should have a "Crop page to Contents" entry.)

Fixing 81118 would go a long way towards fixing the problem, but this functionality should be accessible from at least one, and perhaps more, additional places.

I cannot follow. May a volunteer do what you suggest, my take is the duplicate.

I see that people on  81118 also mention the possibility of additional locations of availability of this command, so accepting the duplication marking.
