Discarding photo fails with Go and Fyne

Nobody Is Perfect

This app is by no means perfect yet. I've heard that there are actually photographers out there who take pictures in portrait format, which would require a corresponding adjustment of the fixed window dimensions. Also, some cellphones are quirky about saving photos without rotation and only note the rotation specification in the Exif header of the JPEG photo. Corresponding adjustments can be made easily, as always with open source projects.
