Reading the replies I realize that there are many important things and
possiblities about units.
I have not thought the user being able to choose units to express his or her
wishes, but just to be informed about the ones in effect. (
Well, in fact right now, while choosing margins for the printed diagram Dia allows
the user to write for example 30 mm and then Dia rewrites 3.0 cm; Dia recognizes the
words m,cm,mm,in,ft...
Knowing that next or new window size is expressed in pixels --- and I think many
people knows about pixels --- I can, confidently, to change the numbers for that size
and get, just from the beggining, an appropiate size for my work in my terminal.
A very good alternative to adding information about units near the numbers, or in
general, to crowding the dialog boxes with visible information about each menu
item,could be to have a "help button" on each dialog box to provide a general
explanation about that dialog box.
Perhaps it woud also be nice to be able, after "manualy" changing
the windows size, to "tell Dia" allways begin with that size witout writing any number
at all...
Once more, thank you all.
