option to set import scale, and Auto apply transform for obj importer

I sometimes need to export/import as obj format. Then blender update obj importer/exporter recently. thanks. But I really do not know why we have scale option for exporter, but there is no scale option about OBJ import settings.

I know there is " clamp size" property, but when we need to import/export OBJ to another applications, we may hope to set "scale" as reverse. (eg export scale as * 10.0 to another, then import scale as * 0.1 to return)

Though I know, I can change scale after import obj, then usually we may apply rotation, scale (or transform) along with import axis setting (-Z forward , Y up etc)

But we usually keep setting when export import for each purpose , then blender offer + button to save those.setting.

Then add Scale option and apply transform option for obj Importer setting, it should be useful.

summarize

1 . add scale option (input scale value as float = as same as obj exporter setting)

  1. add option which can auto apply transform (toggle check box) after import

Import scale was just added for Blender 3.4 ( developer.blender.org/rB42b1a7d4c66 ).
