Setting wrong resize options gives false error message about permissions

[O Gopal]

On the "Resize images" dialogue, I want to change the scale. So I type in a number--say "30." Then I click "Resize."

Resulting error message: "'[Name].JPG' cannot be resized. Check whether you have permission to write to this folder."

But the problem has nothing to do with permissions. Rather, though I wanted to change the "Scale" options, I didn't click the radio button for it. So the "Select a size" option was still selected. *That* was the actual error. When I reenter the desired percentage and click the "Scale" button, all works fine.

So we have a misleading error message.

Additionally (underlying the human error that led to the error message):

Expected behavior: When I enter a new value for "Scale," the selected option will automatically change to "Scale."
Actual behavior: It doesn't. The selected option remains "Select a size."

And a fine point: Ideally, the value entered in "Scale" would be sticky -- that is, the next time this dialogue box appears, it would retain the last-entered value.

This was ~2 years ago. In March 2015 and with 14.10, the problem is still there. No solution found?
