Hey John, here's one for you.
I Have been playing around with user interfaces for things that should be
scaled proportionately and I'm convinced the best behavior is the way
NSImageView behaves when NSScaleProportionally is set. This seems kinder to
the user than setAspectRatio behavior because it doesn't constrain the user
but gently leads her down the right path.
It's not just images that can benefit from this behavior. Currently I'm
hacking the same behavior for my NSMovieView subclass and I'm sure other
Views could benefit as well. So my proposal is to generalize
setImageScaling: to setContentScaling: and make it an NSView method.
