Could someone else than me test the patch and report back, please? I won't continue with improvements until the more experienced devs agree that this is the way to go. cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

@jarl-arntzen: Thanks. Even though I spent many days trying to get this little bit of patch working (mainly because of lack of experience), I'm not sure if this idea of mine will be an accepted solution and make it into the official build. I'm not against receiving money but especially in this

I tried looking at the svg side and I'm a little confused. How about, as a first step, modifying inkscape so that rulers and mouse pointer coordinate status use the origin that is indirectly defined by the viewbox? What about the viewbox units? Second step would be a gui to actually configure

I tried to simply add a multiplier and an offset for each ruler which seems to work as expected. (I did not yet manage to link scalar input values of the gui to the actual values but this should not be hard.) This idea could solve the problem of some users I guess, however there would be a few

I have partly implemented what I described in #57, I still have work to do on the GUI elements. See attached image for how it could look like (this is also the easiest to implement that I can think of for now). @lemasney: I did not quite understand, click and drag on that corner then moves the

Due to some problems I have with the gui and to make future changes easier, I'm rewriting the gui code I had so far. @jarl-arntzen: have you tested my partial solution? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

@Thorjelly I wrote scripts writing out geometries at scale (in mm). For debugging and other purposes it is most useful if the numeric values in the document stay these numbers and the rulers also show the same numbers. This is not only useful for the scale but also where on the page the origin is

@ yharrow I did create a patch to just visually change the ruler and coordinate display, but more experienced devs pointed out that this was not the best way to address the issue (see #76). Time has passed, I don't know how much work is still necessary. I'd also love to see a fix and still
