Although I haven't studied the code well enough to work out why we're converting to inches here anyway.
Some of these conversions are found in the input/output code that support other file formats, where dimensions are specified/required in units other than pixels. For instance in the EMF and WMF sections these conversion factors to PX are used: meter, inch, millimeter, world. (Page and Device coordinates are also present, but going to and from those requires a full transform matrix instead of a single scale value.) It seems pretty likely that 12471 will break something in here when the px/in ratio changes from the current default, and I need to test that. So, can somebody please tell me where in the GUI 12471 introduced a control that changes that ratio?
There is no control in the GUI for this. But you can change the ratios in /share/ui/units.xml.
