I type in: 5 Items

It matches a 16:9 ratio, with a 5x1 grid.

A 5x1 grid isn't a 16:9 ratio.  

What exactly is this supposed to be doing here?
5 is too few. Try 40 or 100 or 500.

I should probably add a "use case"... 

The ultimate goal is to select a folder containing large number of pictures, and the program will automatically stitch them together into a big poster you can print or use as a screensaver or display on one of those "frame" TVs. Based on the number of pics, it determines how many will fit in different layouts and aspect ratios. 


This is just version 1, it assumes pictures are all a uniform size & orientation, it doesn't yet take into account pictures being rectangular or horizontal vs up & down.

Anyway that's what I was designing this for.
