Nobody challenged the importance of your opinion. However one should understand what he or she votes on and your comment about "permanent proportional adjustment and necessary rounding" suggest that this isn't the case.
Voting no without understanding and without asking for explanation speaks books about the hegemonic and reactionary reluctance to new IV features among forum elders and regulars, especially against the backdrop of this very revealing attitude:
... later explicitely confirmed by a quote which goes a long way showing that if you guys had it your way, IrfanView would be a naked, featureless image viewer like Windows XP's "Image and Fax Viewer":
... which, by the way, makes your stance completely absurd, because you argue against canvas enlarging/cropping on the grounds that "IV is not a canvas and/or picture frame editor" (whatever that is), blatantly not realizing at all that the very feature you don't want to see implemented ....
... IS already implemented.
Open the batch conversion dialogue, click on advanced and you will see a checkbox labeled "CROP" and another one labeled "canvas size".
GEE, IT IS ALREADY THERE.
Oh, I'm not sure, but didn't you say
Why was that again ?!?
Everything - and really everything - PenaPP was doing was suggesting to merge both features, thus reducing GUI complexity while keeping the same functionality, plus - while we are at it - adding a bonus feature in the form of a checkbox asking if you are using absolute or relative values (i.e. if you want to crop/enlarge TO 400 px or BY 400 px).
