Page size - ability to change the unit from CM to MM

[kanlukasz]

Is it possible to change unit from CM to MM?

If not, is there any chance to add this option?

The display is based on what windows uses per country locale so for most Americans it will be inches but for Europeans can vary much more. Yours is showing 21,01 i.e. decimal comma but mine uses the British decimal dot those settings are controled by windows regions so you may be able to switch to inches or change the decimal separator HOWEVER there seems to be no way to switch between metric cm and metric mm ! Perhaps see if Microsoft allow for such variation in windows?

[kanlukasz]

If I can change it permanently to millimeters, that's enough for me (I don't have to change it every day)
Unfortunately, at first glance, there is no way to use millimeters in the regional settings of MS Windows 😿 Unless I missed something...

MS Nanny seems to have trouble understanding user desires as some users may need to see units in metres (or yards) whilst others may need µm (or mils)

@kjk whilst it may be a minority of users need to see other units, is it trivial to multiply by 10 and override decimal placement and change unit output and provide a users choice setting and similar for, oops it's starting to look like not trivial ?

Is this a real request?

I could understand if you wanted it to show inches instead of cm, or any other calculation that is not that easy to do on the fly in your head, but if you want mm instead of cm, just move the comma mentally and voila!

Don't really understand this as it is purely cosmetical.

@Larzans many users find sumatrapdf easy to custom program for commercial tasks since it is easily keyboard driven, likwise for extracting info

File Size: 3.14 MB (3,296,423 Bytes)
Number of Pages: 1
Page Size: 106.68 x 80.01 cm

when parsing such data it helps if units match needed/desired input such as say points of an inch

If you have a hundred documents, trust me, it's not cosmetic

Of course I understand that I can looking for other software but as everyone knows there is probably nothing faster in the overall performance than Sumatra 😉

[Larzans]

@GitHubRulesOK right, makes sense if the data is extracted and then analyzed
@kanlukasz true, i was just looking at my casual use, but if you have to process large volumes it makes sense to not have to do this extra step

my bad :)

m - show cursor position in document coordinates

Be nice if this was customisable too

[GitHubRulesOK]

@flywire
oddly m uses mm (along with in & pt) the complaint is file details uses locality cm !

[flywire]

@GitHubRulesOK Thank you. Can you link the config so I can see mm instead of pt?

[GitHubRulesOK]

@flywire press m several times it loops between native pt and alternative units drag for area but would be nice to have the diagonal #750
