That was the main point of my email.

It seems you have to specify the world size of a pixel and a reference location.

Yep, that was on my nice-to-have list as well. With the current state, it is quite hard to use that feature without knowing the implementation (and its limits). But I won't spend the time to implement this without knowing that it will eventually be useful for other Viking users. > I remember I started a dedicated tool for this, but never finish it: > http://home.gna.org/imggeoref/ > Inserting such feature inside viking could be really good.
