Summary | 0006229: Feature request: more units to edit an image's size | ||||
Description | The size of an image inside an image frame can be adjusted in "Properties / Image / Free scaling" just in %-values. It would be nice to have here also the possibility to enter "real" dimensions in mm, Pixel or whatever. | ||||

it might be an easy hack to include 'real dimensions' like inches, millimeters etc. – but not pixels! this image size doesn't edit the image itself… we can already decide between 'percent' and 'pixels per inch' (called – as usual – but wrong 'dpi' instead of 'ppi') i'm not sure if it helps in any real use case to insert a value of the 'real dimension' of the (partly hidden) image. it might rather be confusing. |

i don't see many use cases either. most of the time the percentage is probably comfortable enough. one possible example is: you want an image of a given size and the image inside of it to have a 1 cm padding. you could then subtract 2 cm from both the width and height, then center the image. personally, i don't like images that are not filling, but i've seen people asking for it. all in all, i don't feel that this feature is needed, and if it's rather misleading we can for sure refrain from implementing it. |
|
well, there seems to be at least one use case… |
