Thing is, it makes no practical difference on web sites.  A web site
will render images at a certain amount of pixels (resampling it on the
fly if needed) and won't give a flying f* about what DPI/PPI setting
the image has.

However, I would still like to have a way to give export sizes in
centimeters/inches/whatever and dpi, simply because there are cases
where that's the more practical thing.  Say I want to print an image
at 30x40cm and I know that the optimal DPI for my favorite printer is
300DPI.  Darktable could calculate the amount of pixels for me.
