[bug] Should #+attr_latex affect image display within the org buffer itself?

[bug] Should #+attr_latex affect image display within the org buffer itself?

[Vladimir Nikishkin]

Hello, everyone

My problem is the following:

Compare the following three pieces of  org code:

#+attr_latex: :width 80px
[[file:figure-1-1-dot.png]]

#+attr_latex: :width 8cm
[[file:figure-1-1-dot.png]]

#+attr_latex: :width 80mm
[[file:figure-1-1-dot.png]]

They get exported into LaTeX as expected.
But if you org-redisplay-inline-images, you will see that the first
one is rendered 80 pixels wide,
the second one ise rendered 8 pixels wide, and the third one is
rendered 80 (again) pixels wide.

So it seems that org is using #+attr_latex as a guide in setting the
width of the images in the org-buffer.

This seems wrong.

At the moment, I'm working around this by setting the width in "TeX points":

#+attr_latex: :width 224pt

The exported image becomes 224 points wide (roughly 8 cm), and the
embedded image is 224 pixels wide, which is okay.

I think another way to do it is to have an #+attr_org: :width as the
first attribute.
