Question

Why can't I set any image properties while inserting an image via the Image Properties dialog?

I'm doing an eval of Release 2015 right now, but I also have this behavior in RH10.

Is there a setting whereby I can set image properties while inserting (or changing) an image file, without having to close/reopen the dialog? This is a truly annoying issue that I can't seem to find a solution to within RH. (Not to mention it's also extremely counter-productive!)

Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If it's a 'bug' how do I go about getting it fixed?

Which properties are you trying to edit? And how are you inserting the image?

If I use the ribbon (Insert > Image) I can set several properties. The dialog is the same as when I open the properties for an image that is already inserted.

Thanks for your interest!

I use a master page with an image placeholder. When I change the image via the Image Properties dialog my Size settings get replaced with those of the new image. When I do a copy/cut then paste an image, if I have to reset any of the margins/borders the size reverts back to the image default size.

I'm hoping there's a way to be able to 'lock' an image container so it keeps user settings. It's as though the dialog ignores these when processing its tasks. The dialog lets me edit any of the properties I choose but size doesn't persist to my setting when changing the image.

Being a programmer I know that once I set an image container's properties they don't change unless I deliberately reset them to different values. I suspect this isn't the case with how RH handles its image containers and so I'm hoping someone can confirm this is a 'bug'!
