Attached is the patch I mentioned to add a dropdown combo box containing
the distance measures. The patch seems to work - doing things like
entering "25cm" will correctly parse out the units and update the
combobox and lineedit. The major piece of wierdness is that selecting
"fraction" in the dropdown with a number > 1 will actually choose "pts"
(this is what the code in utilfuncs.py actually does, but it doesn't
seem like great UI).
_However_
The patch is kinda ugly, for example there's some quite involved logic
to determine what happens if you enter a value without units. I'm not
quite sure what the best way to make it prettier is. Suggestions?
I'll have a look at it later. Please bug me if I don't respond!
