GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 91648
GimpSizeEntry widget should allow float pixels
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Some parts of Gimp use a common widget that handles units, but it does not allow to use 1.5 pixels or any other value like that. For some cases, float pixels including small values like 0.1 make sense, for example blur filters. As temp fix, one can set the unit to pt (if the image DPI is 72) and use that with a 1:1 ratio, but for other cases it is hard (DPI not 72).
The GimpSizeEntry indeed takes the number of displayed digits from the GimpUnit it displays.
Then the problem about float pixels is somewhere else. No idea where and no time, if anybody really needs float for pixels, he can open a new bug with correct info.
