Bug Description

The cursor position readout in the lower right corner of the screen is to 2 decimal places. I work in Inches. It would be really good if the readout had a more resolute capability. I would suggest a capability of at least 4 decimal places. For what Inkscape is intended, this should be sufficient. The zoom capability is really good. A 0.003" line in Inkscape equates to about a 1-1/8" wide line on my screen. I could easily see a change of 0.001". I (and I assume many other users) regularly work at this, or even greater, resolution.

I am a brand new user of Inkscape. I have looked and searched for a way to change the readout resolution but haven't seen anything. For that reason, I assume that the resolution is fixed at 2 places.

I am using Inscape 0.91 on Windows 7 desktop platform.

Thank you,
Chris
