When on the maps layer, it would be nice if the right-click context menu for image files had a "Size to board." option on it, expanding the image to match the current board size. It's easier to tweak the image around than trying to drag it back and forth along the screen.

Alternatively, for maps it would be convenient to have a 'scaling' option that would increase (or decrease) both height and width by the same ratio, especially when working with backgrounds pulled out of the search.

Or perhaps the ability to measure a space on the map (abstractly) and expanding the map to accommodate that as a "square" of space. So measure out what "five feet" in the image is, to correspond to a single square. That would be -incredibly- useful.

Christopher: Both very interesting suggestions. Thanks for the feedback, we will look into those. Jeff: If you hold down the Shift key while resizing anything (maps, tokens, etc.) it will lock the proportions so you can scale it without distorting it. I think that's what you're looking for, let me know if not.

Riley, I was talking more about an option to say 'Make this image 1.5 times bigger', but locking the aspect ratio is good enough for my purposes. It takes care of the biggest problem I was having.

One issue I had is that when I rotated a map, then wanted to resize it, it flipped it back to the original orientation - so I had to guesstimate the scale while looking at the map sideways. A minor gripe, as I realize this isn't meant to be a map creator.

Yeah, resizing rotated objects is surprisingly hard. And apparently I'm not good enough at math to get it right. So for now it just rotates back to the original orientation. But I will keep trying. :-)
