Okay, in this case the "Scale" property in its current appearance
doesn't help you.

Would it help your considerations if I additionally encourage you to do
so? :)

I have a patch running which changes the "Scale" property from "Yes/No"
to "No/Keep Ratio/Fit to Size", which I could use for this. What's still
missing is the file format change, which unfortunately also requires a
file format specification fragment to be submitted to OASIS ... :-\ (Ah,
those lucky times where we justed dumped some bits into some proprietary
binary file format ... :)

Ciao
Frank
