Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] the Scale setting and Display units

> I don't disagree with you, a meter (why are we using mm? ;-) Because no one measures A4 paper in fractions of a meter when you can have nice precise integer values. :) Part of the nice thing about the metric system. A user wants to design a screenshot for their full HD screen? Let's tell them to make their document 1920x1080 mm² because "1 mm will always be 1 mm" Of your output is a particular pixel value, by all means set the units to pixels for your template/export. I don't think anyone is arguing that it shouldn't be allowed at all. That's quite different from having it be the default. But for now they still have their uses and it's not for us to decide! I rather think it is. :) But again, no one is suggesting it be disallowed, just not be the default. If the user doesn't care at all about the physical size of the output, pixels are just fine. It's trying to assign a set physical value to the pixel value that has gotten our round pegs stuck in square holes. At the very least I think we need a possibility to select the default template via UI (I even opened a bug about that some time ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1673608) so users can make a choice on their own without too much hassle. Agreed. +1 -C Regards, Eduard Luca > > > > > -- > Sent from: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Inkscape-Dev-f2781808.html > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Inkscape-devel mailing list > Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel
