[Inkscape-devel] Document Unit Change problems.

Hi,

Trunk/experimental has the ability to change the "Document Unit" in the Document Preferences dialog. Changing the unit changes 'lengths' throughout the document. This process has quite a few problems as demonstrated by the number of bugs reported. In order to get a handle on these problems, I've started a Wiki page to track the issues and to get an idea about possible solutions:

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Units_In_Inkscape:_Document_Unit_Cha...

The problems are quite complex. The simplest solution for the short-term (on the 0.91 release time scale) might be to just disable document unit changes.

Please look at the page and add your comments, bugs, etc.

Thanks,

Tav
