Subject: [Gimp-developer] Inches Ruler in 1/16th inch increments rather than decimal.

Inches Ruler in 1/16th inch increments rather than decimal.

The present ruler for Gimp is in decimal inches, it would be nice to have an option to set it to fractional inches, which is more real world.

Regardless of the fact that my country, Canada has been metric since 1975, there are times and used that require fractional inches.

I agree.

Better yet, I would like to see an ability to right-click the ruler in an image window and change its unit of measure on the fly. Convenient/expected as it is to have the ruler display coordinates in image pixels, there may be some times where you want it to be in a different UOM, and I'm not finding an option to control that in 2.8 .

I agree.

The basic part of providing imperial subdivisions is mentioned in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400448

As you can deduce from the age of this bug, it is not really regarded as very important. So, especially if even more features are to be included, like this...

... it is up to you or someone else who is interested in it to provide a patch :)
