Bug command “change document size” used in a macro

[erdi12]

If the command "Change document size" is recorded in a macro and the lock for keep aspect ratio is activated 
and only one value is entered for one side, the following error occurs after the macro has been executed. 
The aspect ratio of the document is not preserved, the document is distorted.

 

The error is that the dimensions of both sides are recorded and when applying the Macro only the two dimensions are used 
and "Maintain side ratio" is ignored. When recording the macros, only the user inputs may be saved and no Bucalculated values. 
The calculation of the second Side length must be done when applying the Marco. Version is 1.9.2.1035 , 
it is reproduceable on new documents.

Yes, that is the way that macro processing works in Affinity Photo. (And there are other examples, such as using Copy/Paste.)

The way that photoshop proceccing such comands are so as I expected. In Affinty the switch

to look the aspect ratio has in a marco no function, that for me a bug and not a function.

Affinity Photo is not Photoshop, and it works differently.

Resizing in a macro requires use of the Distort filter, using Equations to set the size.

Note that if you're using the macro in a batch job, you an simply use the size boxes in the Batch Job setup; resizing there does not require a macro.

Is the intention to do a function in Affinity Photo different than in other image processing programs without reaching the standard of this or does Affinity want to do it better?
Of course, you can also change the image size differently, a marco is only comfortable in combination with further steps. And if a photo with a different set ratio is destroyed after using this command, it cannot be used.
