Load image with specific size

[youngminpark2559]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I load large size images, I should always resize them into small size

Describe the solution you'd like

• Memorizing the size of image which was last loaded, and when image is loaded newly, this image should be loaded with the memorized size
• Or, it would be great if I could specify certain area or region. After that I use ctrl+shift+i or drag-and-drop to load image
  Loaded image onto that region should have the specific designated size

I agree with this. I was just about to open a feature request about something very similar.

Here is my suggested change:

• When in image mode and clicking on the canvas you will not get a file select dialog immediately.
• The mouse click should starts the dragging of an on canvas rectangle.
• On mouse release When the file select dialog is opened.
• After selecting the image, it will be rescaled to fit into the dragged rectangle previously chosen and then put on the canvas.

At least it would be nice to have a consistent image insert size based on image resolution and pdf page size/DPI, etc. I am trying to insert the same signature saved as png and depending on where I click, it is inserted in a different size.

I really like the idea with specifying the area for the image before selecting the image -> I would like to implement this!
I also agree that image insert size should be consistent, i have played around with inserting images:

While there is reasons for the way xournalpp currently does it (zoom level & how close to the edge one adds an image) it doesn't feel very intuitive and i hope to improve it:

• maybe account for zoom? most users probably aren't working with 100% zoom, so pictures added will always be larger / smaller when they are added with original size for 100% zoom -> this could be changed to original size at current zoom?
• allow user to grab and move image directly after inserting it (currently you add the same image again? which feels buggy)
• don't make the image smaller just because it was added closer to the edge, let the user decide to move or resize the image

I hope to open a PR soon, please feel welcome to suggest alternative behavior if you have any ideas - I'd be willing to try and implement them as well, so we can choose the best behavior in the end :)
