darktable cropping tool not precise?

I have noticed the following thing: I am using the cropping tool in darktable and I set it to e.g. 4400x3300 pixels. When exporting, I usually do not get a picture which is 4400x3300 pixels but instead 2399x3299 pixels. Apparently, the only way to get a picture which measures exactly 4400x3300 pixels is setting the cropping tool to a size which is about at least 10 pixels larger and then setting maximal size to 4400x3300 in lighttable (export settings). Is this a bug?
I am using darktable 2.4.4 for Windows.

Are you sure that the aspect ratio of your cropping is correct? An image of 8800x6600 pixels can be reduced to 4400x3300 pixels, an image of 8800 x 6598 can not. If you set a size of 4400x0 or 0x3300 at least one dimension should be correct.

@Thomas_Do Thanks, that’s it! I think my camera’s original apect ratio is not exactly 4:3.

Mine is supposed to be 3:2 but really is 3:1.973802395 :wink:.
