I'm fine with that (it's worth the complexity and clutter) but pretty sure there is some group wanting it differently (there plenty of image editors around giving the option to choose between units; sadly, IMHO). So I speculate people complaining they can't choose measures anymore. Or maybe some group finds inches stupid measure and CM superior. And we can do history lesion why different measuring system are invented for the same thing. Say celsius/Fahrenheit. Miles/KM. Except you can localize nearly everything. So things build in EU don't fit in UK (speaking about protectionism) And computer somehow more UK/VS oriented. So screen diagonals are again in INCH. And the internet made everything even more 'interconnected'. Which makes the 'negative side-effects' more obvious. Carrying about the triviality's around DPI/DPCM (or paper sizes for that matter A4/Letter). It's quite insane that this still not sorted out with multiple standards. But well I'm as attached to CM/KM/Celsius/compared someone else feels connected to Inch/Mile/Feet/Fahrenheit And units being Imperial giving 'cachet to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units Long life a form of historical nationalism in today's world -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141094 --- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze --- Would be a challenge to calculate with dpcm when dpi is the standard. Fact is that we use different units. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141094 --- Comment #3 from Luke --- Heiko, If you set your units to "cm" in the measurement settings, then your dpi, should be dpcm. That is the smart, well designed solution. The inelegant, cluttered UI solution is to make the user select units in every dialog box that has units. This ignores the fact that there are natural units accepted units. This is only a dupe of bug 72662 if you make the user micromanage the units in every dialog box. The correct solution is for LibreOffice to be smarter about how it handles units. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
