Public bug reported:
On the "Resize images" dialogue, I want to change the scale. So I type
in a number--say "30." Then I click "Resize."
Resulting error message: "'[Name].JPG' cannot be resized. Check whether
you have permission to write to this folder."
But the problem has nothing to do with permissions. Rather, though I
wanted to change the "Scale" options, I didn't click the radio button
for it. So the "Select a size" option was still selected. *That* was the
actual error. When I reenter the desired percentage and click the
"Scale" button, all works fine.
So we have a misleading error message.
Additionally (underlying the human error that led to the error message):
Expected behavior: When I enter a new value for "Scale," the selected option
will automatically change to "Scale."
Actual behavior: It doesn't. The selected option remains "Select a size."
And a fine point: Ideally, the value entered in "Scale" would be sticky
-- that is, the next time this dialogue box appears, it would retain the
last-entered value.
