Right click image to create new page

Current process: I have maps, they are JPG's and are already the size I want them, they are in my Roll20 library. I create a new page, click on the Map layer, drag the jpg from my Roll20 library and hope  that this time, this page decides to ask me if I want to resize my page to fit the image etc. But 9 times out of 10 (recently), it just drops as a 1x1 or 3x3 token. I then have to find the original file, identify its original dimensions, then resize the map back to its original size, then I have to mess around for ages aligning it to the page properly. Ideal process: Select the already correctly sized jpg image from my Roll20 library. Right click it, select "Create new page with this image as the background". Navigate to new page with image already set as background without having to mess around with it.

Hi Steve,  If you need assistance with your page alignment process please let me know. It should not take "ages" to align an image to the page. It should take less than 5 minutes (and usually a lot less than that).  Note: I am not commenting on the suggestion itself, just trying to provide assistance in the meantime. 
Steve, Have you tried holding down ALT while dragging the image from your library? That should override the resizing of the image to the grid Gauss said: ... It should take less than 5 minutes (and usually a lot less than that).  LOL! In today's world, 5 minutes is an  eon .

Rick A. said: Have you tried holding down ALT while dragging the image from your library? That should override the resizing of the image to the grid I have not tried that yet. Thank you for the tip! **EDIT** I don't have an option for this on Mac (no alt key and no alternate keybind), putting in a second feature request now...
