on my layout, I have the window size for cover images set at roughly the correct ratio, so that most images fill the entire area. But for cover images which are wider or taller, there is white background space showing. I'd like to see an option to stretch the images to fill the space. The stretch would look awful for covers which are way off aspect, but the feature would compliment most cover images by not showing any background white.

To solve this problem, I give all my images exactly the same size (one for DVDs, and one for blu-rays, with blue banners). I get only small white bars on blu-rays.

With programs as ACDSee or PhotoFiltre (free in 6.3.1), you can resize all your images on one operation (if you want, you can save original images on a backup folder)

Good idea surfeur! I use IrfanView for batch resizing of images, which works pretty good.

Gah!  That means a skewed aspect ratio!

In fact, all covers have quite the same aspect ratio. So when you "normalize" 540x380 to 540x375, for example, you do not "see" any difference.

Most have an approximate 5:7 ratio, for DVD in keepcases, but other mases are different.

In reports you have a option for stretching or ratio for the covers, but in layout I don't know an automatic way.

To do it manual without using another program than DVD Profiler, you can do it if you're changing a profile in "Coverscans" -> "picture" -> "change size".

You can also make a right-click on the scan and choose "edit cover"

* For just changing high or width, flag the checkbox.

As the high of the pics downloaded always is the same (700 dpi) you can just change the width to match your layout.

I don't like the skewed ratio, but locally you can do what you want.

If it bothers you that much you can just make an HTML window do display the cover image and use the image size tag to force the size to the same thing for every cover

I agree, skewed too much is an ugly thing, but most are close to the same ratio.
Agrare, another good suggestion to make a layout which resizes.
