[Bf-committers] Regarding sticky coordinates removal from blender

[Campbell Barton]

@Lockal,

Cameras really shouldn't be scaled - when you scale a camera it won't
render scaled, so UV project is correct in this case.

Can you expand on this? - not sure what you mean.

The aspect is 1:1 but its a setting that can be modified. Adding an
option to use the scenes aspect can be done easily, though it does
create a tricky dependency (changing scene aspect would need to update
modifiers).

Since this has been hidden for so long, my assumption was that users
were not accessing.

Yep. this needs doing.

I see your point but dont think its an argument for keeping sticky -
such a tool can be added as an operator accessible from C, or a macro
/ py script.
