Resize picture aspect ratios

I registered just to post this. It's something that's been bugging me for the years I've been using rainmeter.

Is there any chance you can implement a feature that makes pictures automatically resize to the correct aspect ratio when being displayed as a slideshow in a rainmeter picture viewer? None of the current ones can do that, so I assume the possibility isn't there yet.

From the manual:

PreserveAspectRatio
If set to 1,the aspect ratio of the image is preserved when the image is scaled both horizontally and vertically (ie: both W and H are specified). If both width and height are given and PreserveAspectRatio is set to 0, then the image can be distorted.

Note: If only the width or only the height is specified, not both, then the aspect ratio is automatically retained and the image is scaled by the in the direction corresponding to the value given.

[ImageMeter]
Meter=IMAGE
W=200
H=100
PreserveAspectRatio=1
