Title: Metric Standards for Q-Image
Post by: kaisterplayer on August 23, 2009, 06:04:00 AM
Dear Mike,

just a suggestion or actually a question.
Very often I need to print photos to a very specific size.
Also often I am told millimeters and centimeters and then I need to start this conversion business....ie. 1cm = 2.54 inches.

anyway you can add a feature to add the metric sizes to the various thumpnail sizing options?

thanks

.... or email Brian or Terry, and they will email right back with the answer to the conversion.   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just joking...

Just one point to add.
When you change the units in Qimage, all the pre-set sizes are converted. However, any values in the Custom/Enter a specific size dialogue will remain as the original numbers and not be converted. You would have to enter the specific values for the unit system you are using.

Be aware that in the Edit Page window the metric measurements are rounded off at 1 mm, the inch values are more precise there.

The precision of your conversion as described above has a flaw too :-)
