If you hold down the command key while resizing an image, it gets
cropped to the new size. There's no warning, it just happens.
That's a frightening way to have users accidentally
Hi Richard,
I never accidentally lost my data that way. Did you?

Is there a property to turn that off, or can we trap for
commandKeyDown on mouseDown to override it?

uhm... don't enable the pointer tool? set the resizability to false? set the
editable to false? Seriously, if you have a image editing app, then you might
want to use a cached version of the image anyway, because of rotation and
similar ways to lose image quality. This is such a non issue for

I see no reason to turn this feature off. I never give the users of my software
access to the pointer tool, which means that can never lose data this way.
Personally, I really appreciate this feature because it is a very easy way to
crop images: no need to edit them in an external

You can set the cantSelect of objects to true. That should solve it in most
cases, unless... you have a picture that needs to be selectable :-)

I suppose you could trap mousemove and check if the command key is
down and tool is the pointer tool to avoid the problem.
Good suggestion. Thanks.

at any point Apple wanted to resurrect the product in the future. Most software
companies that go under do not open source their stuff, if for no other reason

I think the issue isn't really whether or not someone will accidently use a

You're right the reference manual does say that. And on the very next
page, it says:
If you use the set command within a setprop handler to set the custom
property for the current object, no setProp trigger is sent to the target

I'm sure what you said is correct although I haven't tried it. The example
in the manual regarding the use of lockMessages seems to relate to a
