It would be awesome if you could enable composition guide lines on the cropping ui, like rule of thirds and golden ratio etc:

Hello, I’ve a [MR](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/merge_requests/371) open since March for adding the the gridlines, unfortately haven’t heard from anyone from KDE as to why the MR is left open, or if it needs any changes.

Thank you for pointing this out. They are only so few contributors to do reviews and some code bases don’t have regular reviewers even, gwenview among them unfortunately. Until somebody picks it up.

No worries, I was not sure if I should ping someone to have a look or wait for feedback on gitlab.

Thanks for reviewing the MR!
