Made a typo, it's actually setImageScale(), in case that makes any
difference.

Looking at the docs, it looks like it's something that got updated in
the English manual, not German (even though the Scripter part of the
German manual is in English).

If you can find the directory where your docs are, ??/share/doc/en/, you
could just copy all the scripterapi- HTML files over to the de directory
to be up to date.

I'll fix this in 1.5.1svn.
