Imageglass: Cropping

[jtagcat]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Looking something to replace the Windows photo viewer (not stable, don't question, believe me),
for a large number of users (easy to learn and use). Currently using IrfanView (what does not look very nice, and a bit unfamiliar for some).

ImageGlass would be great, only crop is missing. Crop is a must have for any quick viewer.

Describe the solution you'd like

A crop button next to mirror & rotate image buttons. When pressed, makes a same aspect ratio rectangle, what is around 80% the size, making the cropped part darker. Big selectors or large hitboxes for the sides and corners would be nice, as some users struggle to precisely click.
TL;DR:
Add this button

When the button is pressed do this:

• Make it look nicer than a quick paint.net edit
• Make it easy to use, minimalistic.
• Accessibility: Crop borders and corners grab range must be quite large, allowing everyone to crop.
  

  Additional context

Yes, this is a duplicate of #39, directing people away from the project for a (relatively) simple feature is not a solution.

@Qsefawd Welcome to GitHub issues, GitLab issues, and other issue trackers!
Did you know there's a button for +1 (thumbs up)? Instead of commenting without any relevant information and sending out notifications to everyone involved, click the +1 on the original post. This also helps the maintainers (who would add this feature) have a better overview.
