In eog (Eye of Gnome) 2.30.2, I found no way to specify size unit in mm in
So I have to convert these sizes in inches to sizes in mm. I'm using CUPS as the print backend. Should I configure CUPS to switch to use mm as the default size unit? The same problem occurred in Google Chrome 17.0 and many other applications, when I want to custom paper sizes in the system print dialog:

Don't know how to fix it, but .... If you install AutoKey-gtk, a keyboard macro processor (and if you know just a little python), it should be relatively easy to write a macro that lets you input in mm and have it convert it to inches on the form/dialog. This could be triggered by a custom hot key that would work in almost any application or could be restricted to only work in certain windows. You'd probably want to do the input inside the macro (python script) and have the macro send the converted result as if it came from the keyboard. Although this is clearly not a fix, it does show a way to modify many programs to do things "your way" without having modify the programs themselves which often requires a lot of time and knowledge (and redoing it whenever the programs get updated). |

Change your Region Settings to a place that uses the metric system instead of Imperial system units (or US standard units). How to change your 'Region and Language' settings in GNOME 3.3: http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.3/session-formats.html.en |
