Description
I sometimes find myself looking for images that fit a particular aspect ratio, for example landscape, portrait, and perfect square.
Solution
What I'd like to be able to do is define an aspect ratio range as a search term, for example something like:
If I wanted only square images I would search:
...images that were taller than they were wide:
...images wider than they are tall:
...and if I wanted images that were in a range, say standard non-ultrawide monitor aspect ratio:
A potential complication here is the fact that aspect ratios are sometimes written in multiple ways. In the above example I've written 1.6 and 1.77, which is the fractional width ratio to a height of 1; but those are also commonly referred to as 16:10 and 16:9. I feel using fractional width is easier to understand and write, and I think it just works better from a syntax standpoint (no colon required)
Alternatives
As an alternative, tags could simply be used. Automatically assigning a "portrait", "landscape", or "square" tag to images on import. This wouldn't be as granular but it provides the most basic functionality.
