Feature request: Select crop region in main image viewer

[alancutter]

Selecting a portion of a screenshot to crop is very difficult to do when the crop preview is so small compared with the size of the image. It would be great if cropping could be done in the primary image viewport.

As a work-around I can propose you the following patch. It does not implement the feature you want, but makes the crop dialog bigger.
