An attempt to implement a user-requested feature. This adds a configuration to have imported layers automatically scale to the size of the existing canvas (keeping their original aspect ratio of course). Apparently this is the default behavior in Photoshop. I'm curious how many people prefer it?
@CmykStudent
I could imagine having the default options "no scale" "cover" and "contain" similar to CSS property `background-size` would be useful.
In a ideal world I wouldn't mind any of the 3 was default if nondestructive editing was already piped in. Because it's not, I typically have to keep copies of layers prior to rescale if I want to change any details and keep it looking crisp and good.
I think it's also noteworthy that Krita has `File Layers`, `Raster Layers`, `Text Layers`, in addition to `Bitmap Layers` -- I wouldn't mind loading imported layers as a kind of File Layer that can be scaled up or down and then rasterized either.
By default if I recall correctly imported layers default to having the scale/transform tool activated at a suggested size and the user can then scale up or down the layer prior to completing import so that the source image doesn't loose quality in the process.
Food for thought.
