I would like to have constrained export area for height and widwth because if I only increase the Width in Export Area, then the Width of the Bitmap changes, but not the Height in constraint with the changing width. I want to scale up the image size, but keep the DPI the same, and that seems the best way to do this, and it is consistent with other apps.
Setting custom export area is a very rare action. Most of the time you export an object and thus use the w/h/x/y of the selection. If you want to export selection with margins, just draw a rect underlaying your drawing with the margins you need and export that rect. Besides, if you want margins, what you propose would not be very helpful anyway because (1) proportional scaling will make unequal hor/vert margins if the drawing is not square and (2) you'll need to adjust x/y too, not only w/h. All this is very clumsy and inconvenient. So I don't see any real need for this change.
