[Gimp-user] Using "Tool Options" in Scripts or as shortcuts

[Frank Barknecht]

Hi,

I have to do some tedious work, namely crop many images to four aspect
ratios: 4:3, 3:4, 1:1 and 4:1. For each image I need to select
the picture detail to preserve manually, so this cannot be automated.
But I'd like to automate as much as possible from the rest of this
task. 

I tried to write a Script-Fu for this, but while the Rectangle
Selection tool offers a nice input element for a fixed aspect ratio in
its Tool Options, this setting is not available in the
"gimp-rect-select" procedure, which only offers x, y, width and
height. So it seems this is not the right place to look.

I already saved some Tool Presets for setting the options to 4:3, 3:4,
... aspect ratios, but it seems, Tool Options can only be restored by
using the Mouse, which I'd like to avoid as much as possible. Is there
a way to add a keyboard shortcut to a certain Tool Preset, which I
overlooked?

Any other hints how to make my job less tedious?

Ciao
