Re: [Inkscape-devel] Specification: Improved image properties dialog (0.48)

I added Rok's suggestion to the specification. About its implementation, I agree with Steren's idea: let's use a button for matching original aspect ratio keeping the larger dimension and modifying the smaller. That would be the very useful to solve a very common situation: You imported an image, then you want to crop it (for instance, you have a sponsor logo with a lot of transparent space around and you want to get rid of that empty space and leave the logo only).
Thanks for the feedback.
Gez.
p.s.: Steren, It'd be great if you could mentor a team of students to work on this feature. It can be made in different stages and it doesn't look too complicated to be finished in a short term.

This won't work, sorry. Double-click on any object with Selector tool toggles rotation/skew mode. You don't really expect Inkscape to have special cases for Selector, eh? :)

heh, actually atm Selector HAVE 'special' cases like you say :) let's try - If you double click (REAL double click - i.e. fast click) the group - it will ungroup, and then - if you double click onto vector object - it will switch to Node editing, isn't it? :) The skew/rotation triggered by single click btw.
So why the raster image couldn't go to raster editor for some transformation, like vector object do? This is very intuitive way I think.

for sure you will go into group instead of ungroupping the group. sorry for tautology. but it didn't turn the sense imho.
