file place - is there a way to automictically snap to fit the underlying file?

I've always just dragged the edges, but there should be a way that's more efficient. thanks.

Your only choices relevant to its size are to click, which Places it at its native size, or click+drag to make it a size you want. Note that the click+drag method will obey Snapping, if it's enabled.

(There are other choices, as shown in the Status Bar, but they don't help with the size.)

Thanks Walt!

Since the Place Tool has its own – currently empty, in Designer and Photo – Context Toolbar, that might be a nice place to have a checkbox for this, maybe with a few other options for how the image should be resized (max fit, min fit, etc.).

Maybe this could be extended further by allowing the user to get the image to fit within the selected layer is there is one, but I don’t know how well that would work in practice as I’ve not thought about it much.

Might be worth adding a feature request and seeing if anything happens.
