Resize/Rescale image/layer in Krita 2.0

[Boudewijn Rempt]

I've been reading and thinking about this, and I'm still not sure what the 
right way to proceed is. The most important thing I personally do with the 
resize image dialog is rescale an image for a website; I guess I'm not the 
only one, and that task should be really simple.

For scaling, the transform tool should do very well, as long as we add the 
widgets Cyrille talked about. The tool in 1.6 is pretty bare and doesn't give 
any useful feedback. Scaling is pretty precise so manual input is essential.

I think that for changing the canvas size a dialog with a preview like 
Casper's is better than doing it on screen using the crop tool because 
through the overview, you get a much better impression of the size of the 
canvas as it changes. Besides, changing the canvas size is something that's 
not done all that much: better put that in a dialog than clutter the crop 
tool with another set of widgets.
