Ranjan Ghosh on resolution:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resolution dialog needs a bit of fine-tuning IMO.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) It's not only the print size that changes but the size on any media.
|
||
|
|
Therefore I propose adding a single option"physical size" to
|
||
|
|
the zoom menu (like 100%,200%, Fit in Window, Physical Size) and
|
||
|
|
changing the text a bit:

Physical Size
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
Width: [---------] (cm, mm,...)
|
||
|
|
Height: [---------] (cm, mm,...)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The physical size of an image is determined by the
|
||
|
|
size in pixels, the image resolution shown above
|
||
|
|
and the physical resolution of the target media
|
||
|
|
(screen, printer, etc). Most images do not...

|
Now you can enter some value here and when you later select
|
||
|
|
"Zoom to physical size" you will size the image on your screen
|
||
|
|
just like it is on your printer. Requirements for this to work:
|
||
|
|
A proper screen resolution setting in Properties (I would not
|
||
|
|
repeat it here though as it is confusing) and proper printer
|
||
|
|
resolution setting. Can this determined automatically? Otherwise
|
||
|
|
there is a need to enter a printer resolution to (perhaps
|
||
|
|
in the print dialogue itself or under properties)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The metric system is not needed IMO. The resolution is never
|
||
|
|
given in dots per centimeter but always in dots per inch. Nobody
|
||
|
|
- even in Europe - will need that. It's just not used. Even more:
|
||
|
|
Most people certainly will want to enter some values in centimeter
|
||
|
|
but read the resolution in dpi. So I propose setting all resolution
|
||
|
|
values to dpi.
