So for now we should IMO keep the changes to the dialog purely cosmetic. It will help users to be able to recognize the Scale dialog that they have worked with in earlier GIMP versions. Also it makes the code changes easier to do in the limited timeframe that is left before 2.2 is supposed to be done. > * The ratio control has been dropped, since it effectively > duplicates the % unit. I'd rather drop the % unit since I don't think that it is intuitive enough. From my experience the ratio control is the most used control in this dialog and IMO it should stay. > 1) Pete opens the new image and brings up the image>scale dialog.

Do you really think that Pete will get this done w/o having it explained at least three times? I doubt it. Sven
