In response to the suggestion I make my points to those who make
enhancements I submitted this as after reading if you want to pile on
to the enhancement here is where it is.
Re: [Issue 96764] Ideas on resizing images in Writer (may be
applicable to other apps)
The 'final' text goes.
---
In a nutshell:
1. When dealing with raster images there are a few things that should
be optimized by the user. (1) the height and width of the image, (2)
the height and width of the image, (3) the dpi, (4) the palette
(number of colors). All of these should be adjustable by the user.
2. Although this enhancement is directed at Writer the final solution
should be consistent across all products.
3. The user should have the ability to make these adjustments singly
(i.e. change any of the parameters in a particular image) or globally
(i.e. change any of the parameters in all images). In the case of a
change to a single image cropping might be an example. The height and
width might be different for every image. In the case of a global
changes setting all images to the same dpi might be an example. It may
not make sense to make all parameters global. For example simply
cropping to a specific height and width globally is simple including
the desired portion of the image requires working on each image
separately. However if the solution allowed one to set the height and
width globally and later move the image so that the desired portion of
the image was shown then a global solution for cropping makes sense too.
4. Changes should be undoable for as long as possible. Usually
undoable means the ability to do back some number of steps within the
current session. However the ability to crop and re-crop pictures from
session is only possible if the entire image is retained in the
original form from session to session. This means that when the
document is finished to the user's satisfaction a command to finalize
all the changes must be available. So that the image outside the
cropped areas would be deleted, the dpi of all the images would be
finalized, and so on.
