Cropper TK

What is it

This is a copy of Greg Lavino's awesome photo_splitter.py, with some minor adjustments by myself.

Greg published his original code in a ubunutuforums.org thread <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1429439&p=8975597#post8975597>_.

photo_splitter.py is very useful if you need to crop a large amount of images very quickly. Simply select the areas in the image that you want to crop, click "Go" and photo_splitter will create one image file for each crop area for you, in the same folder as the original image.

Here's a screenshot from the StackOverflow question <http://askubuntu.com/questions/31250/fast-image-cropping>_ which features photo_splitter.py as the solution:
