Make it easier to resize an image while maintaining its aspect ratio

To resize an image in a rich text field in edit mode, you must specify the width and height numerically in the properties, which makes it difficult to achieve the desired size in a single operation, and the operation must be repeated until the desired size is achieved. Also, even if the same numbers are entered for width and height, they may not be adjusted to be the same. (For example, setting both width and height to 30% might result in 29% and 30%, respectively.)


If the image could be dynamically resized by dragging the corner of the image with the mouse, as MS Office does, it would be resized as expected in a single operation while maintaining the aspect ratio.

Here's an addition to my previous post:

On the Mac Notes client, users are required to specify the numerical values for the vertical and horizontal scaling percentages in the properties to resize an image.

While the Windows Notes client allows users to resize an image by dragging its bottom-right corner, the aspect ratio is not maintained. Consequently, users still need to specify these numerical scaling percentages in the properties.

Please implement the functionality so that when resizing an image by dragging, the aspect ratio is preserved.

      That is not what I am requesting.

      Currently, when resizing rich text field images in Notes, you can freely change the size of the image by hovering the cursor over the lower right corner of the field.

      However, since you can freely change the percentages of height and width, it is possible to set the image to 10% height and 50% width, as an extreme example.

      *The image is displayed as a squashed image.

      Normally, when you want to enlarge or reduce the size of an image, you will often do so while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image in both portrait and landscape.

      If you place the cursor in the lower right corner and zoom in or out on an image, it is difficult to zoom in or out while maintaining the aspect ratio because you are too free.

      If you attach an image to Excel and place the cursor in the lower right corner to zoom in or out, you can zoom in or out while maintaining the aspect ratio.

      Please modify Notes in this way.

      The reason that the percentages are sometimes different is that we work out the size of the image as width x height and only work in Integers. This means that there will sometimes be slight differences between the height and width % but the image should be scaled correctly.
