Guys, discovered Irfanview a while ago and like it a lot. One thing I haven't worked out yet though.
I have a nice new LCD TV that has a memory card reader and can show slideshows from my digital camera. That's the good news. However I have found that the display firmware is very dumb, and does not maintain the aspect ratio of pictures! Everything gets stretched to 16x9 widescreen aspect, which makes portrait photos in particular look pretty silly.
Irfanview can batch convert images to 1366x768 (the TVs native resolution) and maintain the photo aspect ratio, but it does this by cropping, which often leaves peoples heads and/or feet cut off.
I need a "maintain aspect ratio and pad" option that scales the whole incoming image to fit the screen, and pads it with "blank" pixels (probably black by default) up to the required image size.
Is this possible in Irfanview currently, or am I looking at an enhancement request?
