#32 Save Crop rectangle setting and use it in command line
Understand that from version 0.0.13 onward includes automatic cropping (crop rectangles will be
predrawn or if you prefer the command line: "java -jar briss-0.0.13 -s INPUTFILE -d OUTPUTFILE...
But the command line method do not allow us to specific the crop rectangle size. It will use the default cropping setting. Is there a manual setting we can set in current ver 0.9?
If there a feature to saved the crop rectangle co-ordinate drawn in gui and save to a setting file, and this can be an input setting file used in the command line parameter.
Even within the command line to add a parameter for the crop rectangle size will be good. example java -jar briss-0.9 -s in -d out -CropRect1 settingFile.txt.
This feature will allow automation by command line.
After looking at the code it seems that all that is needed is the parameters sent to MergedPanel in the GUI code. That is x,y, width and height.
Creating a patch that displays these values in the command line output or some kind of GUI switch to display it in the GUI seems trivial. I would not mind forking this project on GitHub and create this functionality. Would you (@laborg) accept a patch if I so did?
This is a basic functionality that should be useful for most. In my case, I often have collections of slides that I would like to read on my Kindle, but these needs to be cropped. They all have to same dimensions and layout, so a batch job would be very much suitable for this.

This is essentially a duplicate of #12 (https://sourceforge.net/p/briss/feature-requests/12/).
+1! This would be super useful to myself and my organization.
