P: Bring back the Constraint Crop checkbox default behavior

With the new update 18.4.1, it’s now impossible to have an image always cropped to non-transparent pixels.There used to be a checkbox ensuring your photo didn’t have any transparent pixels while making Geometry changes and now it’s replaced with a button.That checkbox was optimal for my workflow.

Now the behaviour is a bit odd. If “Enable Expand” is unchecked, it will be cropped to non-transparent pixels only if you’re not doing any Geometry changes. For example the Angle setting will stay within opaque pixels, but Rotate won’t. But it should! Is it a bug or a feature?

Today constraining crop is a button in the top right of Crop & Expand. The work I do needs to be fast, and this new feature isn’t. I have to click that button every… single… time because I’m doing Geometry changes all the time. It’s time consuming. The checkbox made sure I always had 100% opaque pixels. No hesitation, the real deal no matter what.

While editing Geometry, I knew exactly the outcome of the crop because that checkbox was an in real time guard rail to my crop, keeping everything within opaque pixels. Without it, it’s a surprise every time after clicking that button. And worse, I could have transparent pixels and I wouldn’t know. So I have to anxiously keep pressing that button just in case!

We need an option to always have opaque pixels by default on every photos. Bring back the checkbox, or add a new toggle making sure there’s no transparent pixels by default.
