Grid-settings relative to file-size

The Grid-settings seem to be relative to the screen - zooming the image keeps the Grid on the screen and changes it relative to the image.

Is it possible to set the Grid relative to the image?
Example: TIF, 1000*2000 pixel, 400 DPI
-> setting the Grid to "200 pixel relative"will display the same grid, independent from zoom-factor.

What's your opinion?

Hi Peter2

A long time ago I proposed a grid dialog (here) that Pierre has partially implemented in the new version of XnView (XnViewMP).

The new grid dialog doesn't yet remember settings and a few of my suggestions didn't make it, but specifically for your question:

If you use the MP grid dialog to specify the number of divisions across and down (10x10, for instance), you will find that the MP grid behaves in the way you request when you zoom the image.

Hope this helps!

No, because in company with use XnView. But at the moment this is not very urgent for me, I can wait. Thanks for your hint.
