This app is not developed for a person named Ulrich Gabor in particular. Sorry, this kind of "arguments" don't help you r case. And as I explained, it's Apple who has decided that 100% means 1pt=1pixel, as long as they don't fully support resolution independence. > But I really don't understand what's the argument against presenting the > "technical size" menu entry more prominent? > UI pollution.

Giving in to individual requests in general does not reduce the need to explain myself over and over again, trust me.

As a case in point, when you select the non-default choice in Preview the UI becomes inconsistent (compare the contextual menu.) That's what you get when you introduce hacks to go against the system. > > I do not care if you keep your option.

I care about the overall design for all users.
