(1) Even if I don't set the lockLoc, the *location* of the image stays preserved when I change cards. Only the size gets resized. That is counter-intuitive.
(2) What if I do want to be able to move and resize the image freely, yet preserve the current size and location when I change cards? Any recommended techniques for that? I guess just set all the lockLocations to true when changing cards and false when entering the card?
(3) What is the reasoning behind not preserving image size changes for image controls only? Seems a bit odd...
I too find this counterintuitive, and it's worse than you think. If you edit a group that has resized images in it, the individual images within the group revert to their normal size during the edit process. This can produce very odd effects; when I've wanted to add an image to a group like this, I've had to resort to doing the add with a locked screen, running a bit of script that restores the sizes and the lockLocs and then unlocking the screen. It's untidy to say the least. I guess it may be something related to HyperCard history, but I don't know.
What I would like is a command which would make the image forget about its original size by substituting the current size for the original size wherever it's stored in the object. This would preserve the existing behaviour which tho it seems bizarre to Doug and to me, may of course be relied on by some scripters. Maybe this should be Bugzilla'd as a future enhancement.
