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.
