To Doug, I haven't checked recently, but believe the rulers always show cm regardless the "input settings" you choose. As I understand it you can define stuff in terms of inches and so on (what I call input settings), but the rulers will still show cm. Some time ago I asked about changing the ruler output and apparently that isn't implemented so it is an opportunity for someone who programs to make a contribution.

To Chris, I think your arithmetic and/or understanding are not correct. I sympathize completely - this is not transparent and I had to mess a round a lot before I was sure I understood how it all worked. I apologize if I have been unable to explain in a way that convinces you. If you have the skill you could look at the code itself and see what can make it better. I don't have that skill so I just had to figure out how I could work with it as it is. I feel like I am getting my money's worth so I don't complain about it anymore.
