Auto-center media in input view

The alignment options for the input view are very handy, such as "Entire media", "Left", or "Right", when right-clicking on the media within the input view.

It would be great if there as an extra option: "Center". This would make it much faster to auto-center media that has odd dimensions, to avoid going through the math in the Surfaces tab.

I have a piece of paper on my desk with input position specs for converting from 16:9 media to square (and vice versa) with proper centering, along with some other common conversions. An auto-center option would make this unnecessary :)

Thanks for your consideration!

Okay, that one is implemented. Now you'll have two more entries: "Center" and "Entire Media (Preserve Ratio)"
It will be in 4.1. Thanks for the suggestion !

Thanks so much for adding this in the latest version! The centering option is working great, and is already saving time.
