I miss the option "Bounding Rectangle" in the Resize transformation that was present in PWP 7, but seems not to be present in PWP 8.

Since v.8.0.24 there have been Pixel Short Side/Pixel Long Side options in Resize. Pixel Long Side should be the same as Bounding 'Square' instead of a rectangle...

I don't think that Short Side/Long Side is equivalent to the Bounding Rectangle because with Bounding Rectangle you specify which number is width and which number is height, whereas Short/Long does not and the orientation can shift.

Suppose I wish to resize images, some of which are in landscape orientation, and some of which are portrait, but all have to fit within a box, 1500 pixels wide and 1000 pixels high. Consider two input images, A which is 3000 wide and 2000 high, and B which is 2000 wide and 3000 high.

Bounding Rectangle makes A 1500 wide, 1000 high, and makes B 667 wide and 1000 high. This is the desired result, both fit inside the box.

Short Side/Long Side makes A 1500 wide, 1000 high (correct), but makes B 1000 wide and 1500 high (not correct, maximum height is 1000).

Just another example: Resizing images for a FullHD TV. The size of the screen is 1080x1920 Pixel.
A bounding box 1080 pixel high and 1920 pixel wide should resize the image to fit on th screen. If you use a 4K-Screen (TV) just use the appropiate pixel values.

Added this option to Resize for next release along with some others. Also fixed a number of unrelated problems in Resize.

Great. Thank you.
