Image properties option applies to all other images too.

I'm working with a report, where I have some logo for which I am dynamically assigning width and height in properties, considering aspect ratio and other calc.

I also have some other images in the report, suppose a list of students with an avatar.

The issue I'm facing is that, when properties are passed to the Logo, the same properties forcefully reflect on the student avatar images too.

I tried passing a blank object to properties, such that default way of placing the images based on the placeholder works for the student avatars.

Problem is: Image for avatars are not taking the placeholder size when properties are not passed to them, they take properties from last element.

PS:
This happens with the avatar images even if I do

Sablon.content(:image, path)
Sablon.content(:image, path, properties)
Sablon.content(:image, path, properties: {})
Sablon.content(:image, path, properties: {width: nil, height: nil})

but it works fine when a width or height is explicitly gievn like
Sablon.content(:image, path, properties: { width: "2cm", height: "2cm" })

And my Logo image is doing
Sablon.content(:image, path, properties: { width: "3cm", height: "5cm" })

After some digging in, I found out that, in the code here
https://github.com/senny/sablon/blob/master/lib/sablon/processor/document/blocks.rb#L100

nodes are not just referring to the specific place(the outer image), but other nodes also, and it's updating other values(in my case the avatar placeholders).

@stadelmanma is there any progress on this? It this repo being worked upon?

@nikhilgoyal22 I haven't worked on this issue for awhile, the general problem here is that the xpath selector is not specific enough.
