For some reason every time I start resizing a layer gimp turns the opacity back to 100, how can I resize a layer so that it stays at it's opacity while I'm in resizing mode?
Actually the same question applies to Perspective tool as well, it too resets the opacity which makes using it to align to images rather impossible.
Gimp is not turning the opacity of the layer back to 100, it is showing a preview (which, by default, is opaque). You can change the opacity of that preview in the Tool options dialog:
Shown here with the Rotate tool, since it is a common feature of all "Transform" tools. This setting can of course be saved (Edit>Preference>Tool options>General).
