Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html and add a more useful description to this bug.

Hmmm... I find the report very clear... and agree with it.

Note: the ext branch is now merged in master and there was a 1st 2.11.x release.
Maybe update the title ?

Anyway, while the resize dialog in 2.10.x was too verbose,
the new one in 2.11.x is a little too "not" verbose :-)

Like Gaetan is reporting, the original file is replace without warning.
I suggest:
- at least a warning dialog to ask for action if same name: rename, overwrite, skip.
- in the resize dialog, reintroduce the "destination" part from 2.10.x (destination, overwrite mode...)

Note: I never used the "Image type" part

I'm using gThumb 2.11.0 and I think this is a very important bug. When I want to resize an image in gThumb there is no Resize option in the "Edit file" panel so I use Tools -> Resize Images. I change the width and height and I click ok. 
Then I think... oops that's too small and I want want to undo, but that's not possible... and my original file is already overwritten by gThumb

I think the sulution is to add a Resize option to the "Edit file" pane that just works like the Crop tool.

Bart

the Tools->Resize command is used to resize a series of images, the resize command in the edit pane is a regression and is definitely needed.

What about the fact that the resize tool overwrites files without warning and the destination folder option ?

yes I agree

is there any news about the ability to resize an single image?

Hi,
I like the idea of "resize tool overwrites files without warning and
the destination folder option ", but with this option : 
Keep a backup to cancel some wrong change (see as "view origal file...")

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

Paolo,

I've tested the update on the resize function and want to give some feedback.
The destination folder and warning on overwrite is working fine.
Great, thanks.

However I notice that my pictures loose metadata.
I checked in 2.10.x and it's not the case, all the metadata remains.
Especially I have a bad behavior for the exif orientation, which gets reset, thus my 'portrait' pictures are rotated :(

That's all :-)

Cheers,
Matthias

I opened a new bug report for the metadata issue.
