Scale rounded corners

I love that Photoshop CC has a way to modify rounded corners on rounded rectangles, but when I try to scale the rectangle with the transform tool, the rounded corners keep the same measurements rather than scale in proportion to the rectangle size. Is there an option that I'm overlooking here?

I know this is 2013, but I've found the same problem today in Adobe CC, and been tearing my hair out this morning.

 

The workaround I've been using (accidentally, for years!) is resizing the entire image. This keeps everything the same proportions, even the rounded corners in a rectangle shape.

 

So potentially you could copy a layer/shape to a new Photoshop file, resize the image, then copy the layer/shape back to the original file.

 

Not ideal! But until Adobe gives Photoshop users the same basic "scale rounded corners" option as Illustrator... Â¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After years of resizing objects without problems (so I guess I was doing something "wrong" the whole time ?) I've had the issue today and thought there had been one of these magical updates that just change a simple process and send you looking for which box you need to click to fix it back while sreaming in anger for days (yes I'm looking at you "legacy free transform").
I was not very familiar with the concept of "live" shapes so at least I got to learn about independant numeric corner modification capabilities in the properties panel that I wish I knew about sooner, but still, it seems to me that not having an homothetic resize option in there is some major bull crap...

So the quickest workaround I found without copy pasting anything or switching documents or even software (!!!) 
is to grab the pen tool and add then remove a point on your shape, which converts it to a regular shape and you're good to go (except the shape isn't live anymore so you lose other options, of course).

JFC! Finally a REAL solution. If you have to apply the same vector mask to differently sized images, this becomes practically unmanageable. Great.
Now, when I'll need this again in a year, I'm gonna spend hours again on researching this
