Resized images reverting to their original size

See the active thread called "Image sizing a problem."  Essentially, there
are about 4 different ways to reference the same image, all differing from
the other, the nuances dividing them obscurely if at all documented.

I'm sure that all the different ways to reference an image is needed and
used by a few deeply knowlegeable scriptors, however, what I went thru to do
something similar to what you are asking was nothing short of one big
work-around.

Rant coming... Why can't we have a statement that reads like this...

                  set the icon of button xxx proportional to image yyy

Which would then make a permanent change to the buttons icon property that
could only be altered by another deliberate action.  In addition, RR would
assume you want the image converted to png unless you specify jpg or
something else specifically in an image acquisition statement like import
snapshot , etc.
