"DPI" [...] is the ratio between the image dimension in pixels [...] >> and the image dimension in inches > This is mostly nonsense. DPI was and is *dots per inch* defining the > characteristics of an output device Your forget that for a computer program a screen is an output device and the dots of this output device are pixels. For a computer screen ppi = dpi Microsoft (Windows, Office) X.org (X Window) GNOME (The Gimp) Mozilla Foundation (Firefox) all use dpi for what you call ppi. In the context of a bitmap export (what this issue is about) dpi as printer resolution makes no sense. Bitmap export is about dpi as ppi (if you prefer the term). Bitmap image formats label dpi what you call ppi. I'm 99% sure the original reporter would be very surprised to see you misinterpret his dpi request as "dpi as printer resolution". I personally prefer the programs that display it as a pixel/inch value instead of using user confusing dpi/ppi abbreviations but I've seen enough of them to recognize what dpi in bitmap export context means. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
