When I use export, it seems screwy with the DPI. I expect that if I change the DPI to 72, and then change the size of the exported image, the DPI should stay the same. It is really wacky and unlike other graphics apps for the DPI to change when I change the image size, and vice-versa.
If you think about it for a moment you will realize that unlike other apps, we have different controls for export _area_ and for the _size_ of exported image. So when you change the _area_ (either by the xo/y0/x1/y1/width/height controls, or by clicking Page, Drawing, or Selection), the export _size_ (in pixels) changes, but DPI stays the same. When you change export size, area stays the same but DPI changes to match.
Absolutely logical.
Yes, it is, but I think there needs to be a constraint toggle switch in the export dialog for when users want to scale the exported image in the export dialog, and not change what is on the canvas. When I want to scale something with this 'absolutely logical' way, I don't get constrained output, as I have to change the width independent of height, and the similar for the other controls int the top half of that dialog. I really don't want to do constraining by hand ;)
What do you think? Sorry for the late reply...been thinking about some other things...
