I know how to set image scale by defining a distance between two points - no problem, but....
what if I have a whole bunch of images that need to be set at the same scale?
I can see in report view (having set first image by using "distance between two points") that the scale is 0.807026.
How do I set this number, please, in properties of other images?
Is it some hidden property?
Later edit:
found the answer myself - insert scale formula into Xsize and Ysize properties - easy
PS rather than delete this embarrassing senior moment, I guess I might as well leave it here for someone else if they ask the same question?

Goood! For your convenience: You can select all images and then set the value of the property for all of them at once.

Re: image scale (solved)
Fail to see how?
Xsize and Ysize is different for each of the images I am scaling.
I am scaling them by entering expression, like so: where the value is original Xsize*scale and Ysize*scale, and in this example scale=0.807026
How do I do it, please do it for various images where the only common thing is "scale"

And you are right, sorry for that . You can set them all to the same expression at once, but that would lead to the same size for all of them.

Re: image scale (solved)
no problem at all - I am glad that I have learned something today ,
and... if I may be so bold, I would like to make a suggestion:
if it is possible, property view of an image should not only include
Xsize=
Ysize=
but also (if possible?)
Xscale=
Yscale=
current method is "clunky" and imprecise, plus does not allow different scale for X and Y axis
images I use are often distorted and benefit from correction in one axis not just scaling overall
I know (now) how to do it manually using expressions for Xsize and Ysize but it would be great to have this available in properties.
I am (unfortunately) not capable of modifying the code, but perhaps someone might?
Re: image scale (solved)
Not the worst of all ideas . I would prefer a single scale though, because that is by far the most frequent usage I have seen. If it works on the Xsize and Ysize parameters, you could for the rare cases of desired distortion use additional factors on X or Y.

Re: image scale (solved)
I was trying to kill two birds with one stone (or perhaps two stones - X & Y)
normally you would have Xscale=Yscale
with an option of modifying them individually (as and if needed)
the main thing is, that until and unless it is implemented I have a way of doing it manually ... (wiki?)
