Hi people o/

I have a layer witch should be represent de whole animation and I want to resize the canvas to this layer. [Inkscape have a similar feature](http://write.flossmanuals.net/start-with-inkscape/managing-the-workspace/) and I was wondering if Synfig haven’t something like this.

Elsewhere manual adjusting is really annoying and its never exact.

So is their a solution for this usecase?
