P: Snap does not work when resizing proportionally

To resize proportionally, one has to hold down the Shift key while moving a corner handle.
Unfortunately, this disables the snapping to smart guides: when view>snap guides is active, resizing a layer is supposed to auto-align to the edges of other layers, but it is not the case when doing it from a corner handle while holding down shift, a common practice.

Shift-resizing a middle handle does respect the wanted snapping behavior.

CTRL is the shortcut supposed to disable snapping, not Shift.

You gotta be kidding me, it's been 11 years? And this still isn't fixed??

Is this still not fixed or am I missing something? 

 

Current behavior Cmd+T, holding any corner handle of object/image = all snapping turned off

Desired behavior = snap like normal to smart guides, user guides etc. 

 

It seems to work from center handles, but this isn't ideal.

@Yaseen Nau you can set the Move's option bar tool to "Show Transform Controls"  all the time, no need for Ctrl+T.

Just double-click to commit.

You are kidding me. This still hasn't been fixed? I had been using Affinity Designer since the beginning of my graphic design journey. And I just decided to free try Photoshop. This is such a basic basic feature and something that has been requested by users since 2012 and not yet been delivered! Wow. I really want to learn and use both software, but Photoshop seems so primitive in many things. (Like Cmnd + T, resize, Return just to resize a component each time?!)

Jesus Christ, it's been years and years and still this hasn't been fixed. Why are we paying hundreds per year again?

We have 2022 and it's still not fixed! This MUST be a feature! I am creating moodboards and want to paste images... and I can't snap them when trasforming them in the aspect ratio. What kind of odd behavior.... PLEASE fix this.

v23.2.1 Release

 

I've pasted an item into a new document. It's too big. I press Cmd+T to transform. I grab the bottom left corner and drag up and to the left until I get close to the document bounds. It does not snap. I expect it to snap given that all snapping options are turned on in View > Snap To.

 

Pressing shift brings the transform out of "maintain aspect ratio" and now it snaps to the document bounds (but it doesn't maintain aspect ratio anymore)…

 

What am I doing wrong?

Scratch that, I was looking at the wrong date. It's been a full DECADE.

It's 2022. We're on version 23.1. And this bug still exists.

Going on FIVE YEARS since the beginning of this thread. Y'all, this can't be more than a few lines of code to make this work.
