So you'll also be moving Resolution from Scale Image, correct? For what it's worth, I did a good 2 minutes of research on this topic to see what the other softies are doing for a "Print Size" type dialog.
Here: http://epierce.freeshell.org/gimp/print_size_research_results.php I see good arguements for two 'print size/resolution' location ideas. #1 Returning it as it was in <=2.0 because... - Everybody else has 'pixel scaling' and 'print size' in the same dialog, - People are accustomed to Gimp also having these entries together as they've been that way a long time - one less menu entry = one less menu entry to wade through #2 Putting it into its own menu entry (Sven's idea below) because... - Having 'Print Size/resolution' settings in w/Interpolation settings really doesn't make sense - Gimp is NOT about what everybody else is doing - fock 'em That said, I vote for idea #2, and I vote for "Print Size" for the vernacular. I'd be curious to hear from others on this topic who use Gimp mostly for print work. Eric P.
