Summary0001562: "Scale to frame size" locks the image in the frame: no more free positionning
DescriptionWhen the option "Scale to frame size" is checked, there is no way to freely and simply move the image around within its frame.

What I understand (and I agree!) is the proportions have to be fixed to that image frame because this is the purpose of this option. But I think preventing users from *moving* the image *at that scale* into the image frame is a bit restrictive.

I played with this a bit and the current behaviour seems sane to me. If I scale an image to a frame, I want the image locked to that frame.

The workaround if you will is trivial. Switch back to free scaling and the image can be moved within a frame. Scribus is 'well-behaved' in that it does not adjust the scaling any further - unless - you explicitly change it.

I certainly would put this as a feature request, not a bug honestly..At this point, I cannot recommend a change to current stable 1.2.2cvs. I am open to be persauded, as always.

Bumping to 1.3 as a feature.

Disagree. Scale to frame size means just that, does not relate to positioning within the frame.

what about automatically switching to free scaling if user requests to move the picture?

jo-hannes' idea makes the most sense to me.

I'm still of the opinion that theres free scaling/scaled to frame size and that whether its locked to the frame's origin is a separate matter and this restriction just shouldn't be there.

Exactly. We don't expect something to be locked unless we locked it.

yes, i completely agree.

me (and my girlfriend, too) think that the image frame misses one important option:

to scale/crop/move an image _inside_ the frame and then being able to scale that frame as itself by dragging it`s borders - with the contents then resizing appropriate (proportional or not proportional)

there is no easy way to do this now - typically you need to rework that image in an external program (gimp or whatelse)

the current behaviour seems a little bit too restrictive - sort of "all or nothing". If i set "scale to frame size" it always refers to the complete image.

Scribus already crops by the way..

you mean you select properties->edit shape->move-nodes?

yes, we can crop with that - but did you ever try to resize that cropped image then?

with "free scaling", the frame and the shape scales, but not the image inside.
with "scale to frame" the _whole_ image will always be "refitted" automatically to the frame.
what is missing here is some "lock/unlock" option.

No, just move the resize handles
