Public bug reported:

<right-click> opens "resize images" box
seeing the "scale" option pre-filled with 50 I knee-jerk-click <resize>
 I get the error message "'Screenshot from 2015-10-12 18:08:49.png' cannot be 
resized. Check whether you have permission to write to this folder."
I am confused, investigate and *finally* realize that I should have clicked the 
<scale> button

the bug is that the error message should have been appropriate to the
error, in this case something like "invalid selection"
