Re: Proposal for Hints Information

   I like it except that I'm not sure if aspect ratio should be the highest
priority.In real life use cases it seems to be working fine. Say, webcam
supports 960x540 and 1600x1200. User sets aspect priority to 16:9 and min
height to 1200. It should pick 960x540, right?
