------- Additional comments from cris...@openoffice.org Sat Jan 17 14:19:15 +0000 2009 ------- OO ist breaking fundamental user interface paradigms here. Don’t mention the mechanics. You can use whatever (integer) unit you please internally (and perhaps you will change that in a few decades time), but whatever the user inputs has to stay the same. The most you may do is adding and removing leading and trailing zeros, perhaps even shifting the dot / comma for decimal, i.e. metric units. To achieve that you will have to save the input value and then convert it to the format used internally (for display purposes), not convert the input value and then save it. Actually, what really is needed is an input widget that includes value and unit, converting the number if another unit is chosen, but saving the data in the form as it were when the digit was changed last by the user. PS: The internal unit should always have been micrometers. 1 cm = 10000 µm 1 mm = 1000 µm 1 cc = 4500 µm 1 dd = 375 µm 1 q = 250 µm 1 in = 25400 µm 1 pc = 4233.(3) µm => 4233 µm (-0.008%), if integers had to be used for some reason 1 pt = 352.(7) µm => 353 µm (+0.063%) 1 twip = 17.63(8) µm => 18 µm (+2.047%) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
