GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 132274
Scale layer ratio not preserved
Last modified: 2004-08-05 11:13:27 UTC
There's a tool "Scale layer or selection" (shift+t). There are options for preserving ratio - hight/width (ctrl/alt) that work fine when dragging the selection. However the ratio is not preserved when values are entered in hight/width fields. BTW, I miss the "ratio chain icon" that appears near most input boxes where ratio can be applied - that's what people are used to and those seem more comfortable than options in separate place (the tool options). But there probably was some reason for it - don't bother to comment. mimooh
This is very closely related (if not a duplicate) to bug #61904. That one applies to cropping but I think that it could be identically applied to scaling.
Oops, the correct bug number is bug #61094, sorry.
Bug #131111 has a patch implementing this. I'm looking at it...
Fixed in CVS: 2004-08-05 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> * app/tools/gimpscaletool.c * app/tools/gimptransformtool.h: applied patch from Jordi Gay (attached to bug #131111) which adds an aspect ratio spinbutton to the scale dialog and keeps the aspect ratio intact when with or height are changed using the dialog. Fixes bug #132274. * app/tools/gimpcroptool.c * app/tools/gimpscaletool.c: don't set the aspect spinbuttons to "wrap" and decrease their climb_rate.
