Bug ID: 490900
Summary: Mislabeling of PPI vs DPI within interface
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.2.2

OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

example of rare "DPI" usage
SUMMARY
Krita does well in describing image resolution as PPI (PIXELS per inch, or per
cm) throughout its interface. However, it departs from this standard by
describing DPI (DOTS per inch) on the print "Design Templates" options window
for new document creation. DPI does not mean PPI. The DPI label should not be
used.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new document
2. Look in the "Design Templates" section of the "Create new document" dialog.
OBSERVED RESULT
There are incorrect references to "72dpi", "96dpi" and "300dpi".
EXPECTED RESULT
This should be "72ppi", "96ppi" and "300ppi" to maintain consistency with the
rest of the Krita interface and with common design terminology. Even better,
you could remove the labels of "72" and "96" entirely for the cinema and web
design templates as these templates do not actually make use of this type of
measure (even if Krita needs to default so some hidden PPI setting in the
background).
