Hi Alvin, thank you for your comment.

You might want to review that change in light of the difference in *scale* of the two files in 1660474.

The scale set to px in the file shapes_px.svg is 1, and no scale shift should be expected on output, since the internal hardcode of 96 dpi is respected.

The scale set to mm in the file shapes_mm.svg is 1, when it would be more appropriate for it to be 3.77953, which respects the internal 96dpi (not 25.4dpi)

I'm using 0.92.1 r15371, and behavior is as expected when the scale (or viewbox) is set commensurate to 1px per 1 display unit.

When I set display units to px and scale to 1, any change of display units in the document properties in, mm, cm, etc. updates the scale commensurately and file output is scaled correctly, as are symbols created for use in other files.

Correspondence with the "real world" would suggest:

1:1 == px:px
1:96 == px:in
1:3.77953 == px:mm

Respectfully,
TD
