maintaining ratio during object resizing

[Andrew Ross <aross westnet com au>]

Just wondering how many people would find it useful if Dia included
support for maintaining an object's height/width ratio during resizing? 
I'm talking about the behaviour seen in many editors (eg. Photoshop)
when resizing while holding down the shift key.

The only semi-related entry in Bugzilla is
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59880 but the reporter hasn't
worded things very clearly - I'm not even sure if this bug is at all
related to what I'm proposing.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the mail.gnome.org archives
can't be searched at present, and gmane doesn't carry dia-list. If
anyone knows of another place to search the archives, please let me
know.

Also, please note that I'm not asking someone to write this, just
checking to see if others would find it useful (or if someone is already
working on it).

Cheers

Andrew
