Steps: 1) Open Writer 2) Draw an object like a circle or rectangle 3) right-click > Position and size 4) Check 'keep ratio' and press OK 5) Resize object Result - ratio not preserved when resizing object Workaround - resize with the mouse holding shift Tested in 3.3.0 and master on Linux.
Samuel, could you please take a look at this? When 'keep ratio' is checked, resizing by dragging the corner should keep the ratio locked. When it's unchecked, dragging should not preserve the ratio. Holding down shift should reverse this behavior. This is how other office suites work like Kingsoft Office.
The checkbox in MS Word 2013 "Position and Size" -> 'lock ratio' is also respected when resizing. Pressing shift also reverse the behavior. Ignoring this parameter is clearly a bug.
I think this checkbox is only valid when you enter the width/height manually in the text entries above the checkbox. When you resize with the mouse, you can keep the aspect ratio by holding shift. Maybe this checkbox should be made like it is in GIMP: https://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/Article-Images/2022_04_02.png
Created attachment 107017 [details] Sample DOCX showing "keep ratio" property lost on import Samuel, I understand LO is using "keep ratio" as a UI element in the dialog. However, from a user's prospective when a picture has a property "keep ratio", he expects the application to respect that property. This is how all of the other office suites behave and the logical behavior. I understand it may not be easy to fix, but addressing it would give us 1) more intuitive UI 2) better interoperability For example in the attached file, the aspect ratio properties are lost on import into Writer, but Word remembers them between saves.
In an offline discussion about the required changes in the ODF spec to implement this, Miklos said, First step is to have an implementation for the new attribute in our loext namespace. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/ODF_Implementer_Notes
I doubt this needs to be implemented in ODF, the same way as when images now scale proportionately. It should also be noted that the checkbox does also appear in the side.
Jay, Did you try using the attached doc in either Kingsoft Writer or Word? When resized by dragging, one image scales proportionally, while the other does not. This is because "keep ratio" is part of the doc/docx spec and other office suites respect it's value. Are you saying that this information should be discarded between saves? Or only remember the "keep ratio" parameter when saved in .docx format? Currently, without actually being associated with the underlying image, "keep ratio" is just a confusing UI element.
Doing it like GIMP would be a bad choice. GIMP's UI is setup that way because it's only keeping track of one image per document. If you have multiple images per document, it should be done the way MS Word does it.
