Here is what I did:
1. Change scaling on image A
2. Go to image B => scaling is back to default value
3. Go back to image A => scaling stays at default value. I expected it
to change to the value I set at step 1.

So you can either adjust each photos individually, or set more than one
photo per page? When you print more than one photo per page, does it
still take position into account?

Well, I was essentially looking for a way to get more space :). The new
layout I posted make it possible to keep the "Save settings" button.
