Is it possible to change the unit in the column `print size` to millimeters?

Post by dev/null »

I often use this column to verify the size of my projects. I create all my projects in the millimeter unit. XNView shows centimeters.
Can it be changed to millimeters?

I don't think that's it.
If I change this value to "true", the centimeters will be converted to inches. I need millimeters.
Millimeter != inch

I can now confirm it's okay. One last thing - since millimeters is really precise value, would you consider adding an option to round these values?

For example, A4 size it's 210x297 mm, but XnView showing it in this way:

It would be a lot easier to read if it had just written `210x297mm`:
