Bug Description

<right-click> opens "resize images" box
seeing the "scale" option pre-filled with 50 I knee-jerk-click <resize>
 I get the error message "'Screenshot from 2015-10-12 18:08:49.png' cannot be resized. Check whether you have permission to write to this folder."
I am confused, investigate and *finally* realize that I should have clicked the <scale> button

the bug is that the error message should have been appropriate to the error, in this case something like "invalid selection"

Thank you for your bug report, nautilus doesn't do provide the feature you are using though, unsure what you are using but you should report the issue against that component

nautilus does so, by inclusion of nautilus-image-converter (0.3.1~git20110416-1)

on second thoughts, nailing it on nautilus-image-converter should renew this bug report, hence I changed the status to "new"

I've ported nautilus-image-converter to gtk4/libnautilus-extension-4. During the port I made the scale radio selected by default, given it's the only option with a meaningful value by default.
