Research direction

Reproduce the issue through Nemo's image converter using a 150% or 200% scale on a small image, then locate the converter's scaling entry point; the issue names no files or tests. Done means percentage scaling enlarges images as requested, while existing conversion behavior remains intact.

Description

So I have a lot of memes and snippets from the web which I save to my archives. Since they are screenshots or image files saved from the internet, they can be too small. When I go over my saved image files, I just want to enlarge them to, say, 2 x their original size. I tried using Nemo image converter to that end, but noticed that trying to convert images to, say, 150 % didn't do anything. I don't know if this is intentional, but if it is, may I suggest you change this behaviour to allow users to enlarge images to 150, 200, etc. of the original size. At present, I have to use Gimp to enlarge my images (Gimp allows multiplying the image size to, say, two times the original size). But opening Gimp just takes too many clicks.
