More meaningful labels in resize dialog

[Jowday]

Why not insert hints from the manual into the user interface. No one understands 'non-separable' outside the development team. I am sure Mister and Misses Steak doesn't understand the labels and the choice of algoritm at all with the current labels.

Suggestion:

• Nearest Neighbor(hard edges)
• Bilinear (reduction)
• Bicubic (enlargement)
• Lanczos 3 (high quality)
• Lanczos 3 (highest quality)

I am not really sure why you have two Lanczos algorithms available there when the difference in processing speed and output is marginal.

Resampling methods

The following resample settings are available:

• Nearest Neighbor—simple resampling which has the fastest processing time. Use for hard-edge images.
• Bilinear—algorithmic resampling for use when shrinking images.
• Bicubic—algorithmic resampling for use when enlarging images. Resampling is smoother than Bilinear but has a slower processing time.
• Lanczos 3—complex algorithmic resampling which gives the best results but with the longest processing time. Available as 'separable' and 'non-separable'; the latter gives marginally better results, but is slightly slower than 'separable'.

That would be nice for people who don't know what they mean.
