Hi,

I'm trying to get a script to generate an image with default units (as displayed in status bar at bottom of image window) to be mm instead of pixels. My script does

(gimp-image-set-unit 2)

and I've even set default image grid (in preferences) in mm. No joy.

Can it be done?

Short exchange at

http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/gimp-image-set-unit--t45138.html

suggests not.

Thanks for any help. Yrs,

Alan

Hi Sven,

But I've set GIMP preferences Default Image and Image Size in mm, and Default Grid in mm.

If I do File | New, image is displayed with mm units n status bar.

Why doesn't that happen for an image created from a template created from my script?

Is there some other preference I should change?

The units displayed in the status bar are the image's display

units. The

display unit is different from the image unit and it can only be

changed

by the user, not by a script.
