Pattern Scaling

The Scale feature of Pattern Fill Layers is next to worthless. Her is a screenshot of one of the stock patterns @100%:

Zoom level is 600% to show the Pixel Grid.

Here is a 100% Pattern Fill converted to a Smart Object, and scaled to 63% using Bicubic:

Not too bad for an odd amount of scaling, but a Pattern Fill at 63% looks horrible:

Plus, the Pattern Fill scaling control only allows integer percentages, but using SOs allows fractional values, as well as non-proportional, rotation, and even Warp transform. The down side is you may need an extra Edit Contents step to resize its canvas.
