Re: [libreoffice-users] horrizantal ruler measurement in pixels instead of mm, cm, inch

Hi :)

I have no idea how difficult it would be for devs to provide even 1 solution to 
this let alone 3 or possibly 2 if Mac's way is the same as Linux.  I think BSD 
and others are likely to use the same/similar logic as Linux.  Mac was a BSD so 
who knows how this has all 'panned-out'.  


I think Linux users and Mac people are used to dealing with MicroSoft ways so 
getting this done the Windows way would seem the best approach to start with.  
Anyway the decision is really up to the devs to decide if they have time  to 
work on something like this when they have so much else going on  already.

Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi, Tom,

As Adobe appears to do, can you provide an option as it may confuse the user of 
one system if they are forced in to the measurement of the other?

I really like TDF's approach to this.

Cheers,

Richard
