This sounds very nice in theory... ... But, please implement this: A dialog with - two edit boxes (width and height) - a check box (maintain_ratio) If maintain_ratio is checked, whatever is typed on width is synchronized with height, and vice versa (they preserve the original ratio). If maintain_ration is not checked, witdh and height can be modified independent of each-other.
