You may find when you specify units other than pixels that Inkscape will silently convert to pixels; this is a good thing because not all programs honor
Maybe someone should look at the actual SVG file as text so see if it contains inches or pixels, or a mixture of both. And whether if specifies a conversion factor.
Of course internally, inkscape has to convert to pixels because it is displaying onto a screen. But it shouldn't save that way unless the file explicitly specifies the size of a pixel. ()of course if the user specifies pixels, it should just keep the pixel measurement.)
No, this is a bad thing. It means the renderer can change the size of the image. The only thing I want pixels for is icons. For anything else, I want the image to remain the size I given it, regardless of the software.
There's a problem if both pixels and inches are explicitly used. <then the conversion can affect the image structure.
